Servings: 46
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To decorate witch finger cookies:
- 10 to 15 drops green food coloring
- 1/2 cup blanched almonds
- red decorating gel
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or you could use an electric mixer), cream together the butter, almond butter, egg, sugar, almond extract and vanilla until smooth and combined.
- Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt, mixing until just combined and then add about 10 to 15 drops of green food coloring to the cookie dough, mixing again until you get the color you desire.
- Using a 1/2 tablespoon size cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into finger shapes about 4 to 5 inches long and press an almond onto the end of each finger. Using a toothpick or knife, make indentations on each finger to resemble creases where the knuckles would be. You should get about 46 cookies.
- Place the cookies on the baking sheet and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much and will help them keep that finger shape when baking.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 mins until cookies are set. Remove cookies and let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack.
- Once cookies are slightly cooled, remove the almond "nail" and squeeze a little red gel at the base of each nail bed and place the almond back on. Repeat this with all the finger cookies and enjoy!
