Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
- Green food coloring (to desired shade)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Stir in the almond extract and several drops of green food coloring until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour until light, then gradually mix it into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
- Shape small portions of dough into finger-like forms about four inches long, tapering one end to resemble a fingertip. Press chopped pistachios into the tips for nails.
- Place the shaped fingers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Allow to cool on wire racks before serving.
