Basic Information
Preparation Time 15 minutes
Resting Time 30 minutes
Baking Time 25 Minutes
Makes 35-40 Cookies
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All purpose flour | 22/3cups |
| Confectionery Sugar | 1 cup |
| Butter/vennai | 1cup |
| Almonds/badam | 3/4cup |
| Salt | 1tsp |
| Vanilla extract | 1/2tsp |
| Almond extract | 1/2tsp |
| Baking powder | 1tsp |
Method
Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric beater until fluffy.Now gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, continuous beating to make into a dough.Wrap the dough in a cling wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Scoop a tbs of dough at a time onto a piece of waxed paper or a wooden board.
Roll the dough into a thin finger-shaped cookie. Press one almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. Cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance.
Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25minutes.(for me it took exactly 25 minutes)
After cooling store it in an air tight container
- If the dough is crumbly add couple of tsp of milk.
