Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, confectioner's sugar, and a pinch of sea salt using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the butter mixture into three equal portions in separate bowls. Add your chosen natural colorings to each portion and mix until uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gradually fold into the colored cookie dough portions.
- Shape the colored dough into three discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Shape dough into finger shapes, pressing a whole blanched almond at the tip for the creepy nail.
- Freeze the shaped cookies for 40-60 minutes before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on a wire rack; secure almonds with a touch of jam and decorate as desired.
