Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup almond slices
1 tube red decorating gel
1 tube green food coloring

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat together butter, sugar, egg, almond extract and vanilla. Slowly beat in the flour, baking powder and salt. Add drops of green food coloring to dough until you achieve a deep green color.

Divide the dough into four equal parts. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Take 1/4 of the dough at a time from the refrigerator. Break off one heaping teaspoonful; roll it into a finger shape. Squeeze in around the middle of the finger to create a knuckle. Using a butter knife, indent several places to resemble a finger. Repeat with rest of dough.

Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool. Squeeze red decorating gel onto the tip of each finger. Gently press an almond slice on top so the gel oozes out from underneath.
