🍪 Ingredients (Makes 12 cookies)

  • 1½ cups almond flour

  • ¼ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 egg

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ tsp almond extract (optional, for extra flavor)

  • ¼ tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

  • 12 whole almonds (raw or blanched)

Optional decoration:

  • Sugar-free strawberry jam or keto red gel for “bloody” effect

  • Cocoa powder or food coloring for shading

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the softened butter with the egg and extracts.
Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

💡 Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, chill it for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Shape the Fingers

Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a long cylinder (finger shape), about 3–4 inches long.
Pinch slightly in the middle and at the tip to create the knuckle look.
Use a butter knife or toothpick to add knuckle lines and wrinkles.

Step 4: Add the Almond “Nails”

Press one whole almond firmly into the tip of each cookie to resemble a fingernail.

Optional: Add a little keto jam under the almond before pressing it in for a bloody nail effect.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
