Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ground pecans
  • 50 almonds

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2
Beat butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until fluffy. Blend in vanilla extract and salt. Mix in flour and ground pecans. Shape about 1 tablespoon of dough into a finger, about 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough to form about 50 fingers total.

Step 3
Place fingers 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet; they will expand a little while baking. Stick an almond 'nail' onto the end of each finger. Lightly score some 'knuckles' into the centers using a knife.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until set and very lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool.

Cook’s Notes:

Substitute almond extract for the vanilla if you prefer.
