Ingredients:  
1 pouch (17.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
1 egg
1/4 c. raw slivered almonds
1/4 c. seedless strawberry jam
7 drops red food coloring
Directions:
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.

2. In medium bowl, mix cookie mix and egg, using fork or spatula, until well mixed.

3. Squeeze handful of dough together tightly to form a "finger." Score top of "finger" with butter knife to shape the knuckle.

4. Press 1 slivered almond at one end to make the fingernail. Repeat to use up dough.

5. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

6. Bake 15 minutes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

7. In small bowl, mix jam and food coloring with whisk. Trim base of “finger” with fork to give it a severed look. Dip base of finger into jam.

**The longer and thinner you shape the fingers, the more lifelike they will be and since the dough does spread out a little, shaping longer fingers will work out better.**
