Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure almond extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- ½ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
- Gradually mix in the flour until combined, adjusting with additional flour if necessary for consistency.
- Shape small portions of dough into finger shapes, creating knuckles by pinching along the sides. Press sliced almonds onto one tip of each finger as fingernails.
- Place on prepared baking sheets and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden around the edges. Allow to cool before squeezing raspberry jam onto the 'nail' area for a bloody effect.
