How to Make Filbert Finger Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped filberts.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch thick logs. Using a sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  8. Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. For the fingernail effect (optional): gently press a small, slivered almond into the top of each cookie before baking.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
