Ingredients

  • 5 Tbs. Butter
  • ¼ Lbs. Shredded Extra-Sharp Cheddar Cheese about 1 cup
  • ¾ Cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tbs. Flax Meal
  • 1 Large Egg
  • Kosher Salt
  • 30 Sliced Almonds

Instructions

  • In a food processor or bowl, mix butter, cheese, flax meal, and almond flour until the mixture has the texture of wet sand. Add egg and mix until dough holds together. 
  • Scrape dough onto a sheet of wax or parchment paper. Top with another sheet of paper and pat dough into a ½-in. thick circle. Wrap in plastic and freeze 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 3 days.
  • Roll dough into a rectangle, working carefully to avoid creases in paper. Return to freezer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°.
  • Peel off top paper and use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 30 strips, each about ½ in. thick. Place each strip on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt to taste, then use your fingers to round the top of each strip into a fingertip shape. Use a sharp knife to score shallow “knuckle” lines in each finger, then press an almond “nail” into the tip. If you like, bend each finger in places to make it look knobby.
  • Bake the fingers until an even light brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.

Notes

Add a Tbs. of coconut flour if the dough is too wet.
