If finger sandwiches are sandwiches you eat with your fingers, what are finger cookies?

Halloween Finger Cookies

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup almonds

Cream together the butter and sugar.  Add the egg and vanilla.  Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt to form a dough.  Chill the dough 30 minutes.

Shape the dough into 60 finger-shaped cookies.  Use a butter knife to mark knuckles.  Gently press an almond onto the tip of the cookie.

Lay cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.  Cool on a wire rack.
