Dead Fingers
Prep: 15 min, Cook: 15 min.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole blanched almonds, split in half
Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine butter, brown sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until dough becomes too stiff to beat. Knead by hand until all the flour is incorporated. Roll pieces of dough into shapes about the size of fingers and transfer to baking sheets that have been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Using a pin or sharp knife, carve knuckles into dough. Cut out a place for fingernails (almond half). Insert almond into each dough finger. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly before cutting.
