Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients needed for the recipe. The butter should be at room temperature.
Step 2
Place the butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl and beat until well combined.
Step 3
Add one whole egg and one egg yolk (set the egg white aside, as you will need it later). Pour in the vanilla extract and mix everything thoroughly.
Step 4
Add the flour and knead until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Take small pieces of the chilled dough and shape them into fingers. Form the knuckles and make a few small cuts with a knife to resemble finger joints. Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press an almond into the tip of each finger to resemble a fingernail. Brush the cookies (but not the almonds) with the reserved egg white. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are nicely golden brown.
Step 6
Enjoy!
