Ingredients

• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 75 grams Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, walnuts)
• 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
• 1 large Egg yolk (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and mix well until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped mixed nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 24 portions and shape each portion into a small finger-like log, approximately 5 cm (2 inches) long.

Step 7

Place the shaped logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each. If desired, brush each log lightly with an egg yolk glaze for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the Nutty Fingers with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
