    Frightful Finger Cookies

    Source of Recipe

    Famous Brand Name cookbook

    List of Ingredients

    1 cup unsalted butter
    3/4 cup powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup ground pecans
    red food coloring and blanched or slivered almonds (optional)

    Recipe

    1. Preheat oven to 300 F. Beat butter and sugar in bowl of heavy-duty mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and salt. Add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, blending after each addition. Stir in pecans. Dough will be heavy.

    2. Using 1 heaping tablespoonful per cokie, shape dough into "finger" about 3 inches long and 3/4 inch in diameter.

    3. Place cookies on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Using a knife, lightly score "finger" a few times across the center and near the top to resember knuckles. "Paint" almonds with food coloring and press into the top of the cookie to resemble a fingernail, if desired. Or, make an indentation in the top to resemble a fingernail.

    4. Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly brown.
