Ingredients:

• 3 & 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup of salted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• almonds

Directions:

Step 1

To start, split some almonds into halves.  Next, in a bowl, combine 3 & 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder. Mix well, then set aside. In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup of salted butter, 1 large egg, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat at medium-high speed for five to ten minutes using a handheld mixer. After this, add the dry ingredient mixture at a time while still beating. After you mix all the dry mixture, roughly knead the dough, then cover the bowl with a cling wrap. Refrigerate it for 30 minutes.

Step 2

After 30 minutes, scoop about 1 & 1/2 tbsp of dough, then roll it to form a cylinder of around 10 cm in length. Place this on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Design this dough like a finger, then put an almond piece on one end to act as a nail. Press the sides so that the finger is not too flat.  Make several of these fingers to finish the dough. Place this in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F and bake for 30 minutes. While waiting, you can now make the blood for the fingers. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp of raspberry jam and a little bit of red food color. Mix together. After the fingers are baked, design them with some blood with this raspberry jam mixture.
