Spooky almond fingers

Ingredients
125g cold butter, cubed
45g golden caster sugar
20g ground almonds
160g plain flour, sieved
1 tbsp strawberry or raspberry jam
20 whole or halved almonds

Method
Line a large flat baking tray with parchment.
Beat the butter and sugar until pale. Add in the almond and flour until combined. Wrap up the dough and place into the fridge to firm up.
Cut the dough into twenty pieces and shape each one into a knobbly finger. You can add detail to the knuckle with the point of a knife and the press an almond into the dough for a nail. Dip a few of the fingers in the red jam. Place the biscuits back into the fridge to firm up.
Preheat your oven to 180°C and then place the tray into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle and firmed up slightly place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
