Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ground pecans
- 50 almonds
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Beat butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until fluffy. Blend in vanilla extract and salt. Mix in flour and ground pecans. Shape about 1 tablespoon of dough into a finger, about 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough to form about 50 fingers total.

Place fingers 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet; they will expand a little while baking. Stick an almond 'nail' onto the end of each finger. Lightly score some 'knuckles' into the centers using a knife.
