Scary Almond Finger Cookies

This recipe is in fact just a basic butter cookie recipe~ Very easy to do yet so delectable!
 Scary Almond Finger cookie with Chocolate Sauce 
( Berry sauce can be used if desired to look like blood )

Ingredients ( For approx. 99 finger cookies )
a) 415g unsalted butter
b) 500gm plain flour
c) 220g light brown soft Muscovado or golden caster sugar
d) approx. 100 whole almonds

e) 1 nos egg ( For egg wash )



Method
1. Combine butter, plain flour and sugar; knead and combine with your hand until it becomes a dough.
2. Chill for a minimum of 1 hour.
3. If almonds still have skin on them, soak in hot water for a few minutes and then super freeze it by throwing them into a bowl of ice water. Peal the skins and dry them.
4. Remove the dough from the chiller and start to shape them into long fingers. (Note: Use a thread to create wrinkled joint markings on the joints of the fingers. )
5. Use egg wash to press and stick the almond on the tip of each finger to look as finger nails.
6. Egg wash the end of the finger so as to create the effect of dried blood.
7. Bake at 175*C for approx. 20 minutes until golden brown.
8. Cool before storing in an air-tight container. ( Note: Do not immediately chill the cookies by placing them in a chiller. This will cause the cookies to break and crumble)
