Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Green food coloring
- Slivered almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Add the egg and mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough and mix until the desired color is achieved.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm it up.
- Once chilled, take small portions of dough and shape them into finger-like forms, creating knuckles for added detail.

Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential to prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
