Ingredients
Equipment
- oven
- cookie sheets
- mixing bowl
Directions
- Set your oven to 325°F (165°C) to preheat.
- Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. Mix in the egg and almond extract. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt, then stir into the butter mixture. Add green food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
- Roll pieces of dough into finger shapes about 2 inches long. Press an almond into one end for the fingernail. Arrange them on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges turn lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
- Press a small dab of red jam under the almond to mimic a bloody nail bed.
