What You Need

1-1/4

cups PLANTERS Sliced Almonds, divided

oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1/2

cup butter, softened

3/4

cup powdered sugar

tsp. almond extract

1/4

tsp. salt

1-1/2

Make It

HEAT oven to 325ºF.

RESERVE 40 nuts for later use; process remaining nuts in food processor until finely ground. Beat next 5 ingredients in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in ground nuts. (Dough will be stiff.)

ROLL dough into 40 (3-inch) "fingers," using 1 Tbsp. dough for each. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray. Press 1 reserved nut into end of each dough finger for the fingernail. Use sharp knife to make 3 crosswise slits in top of each finger for the knuckles.

BAKE 15 to 20 min. or until lightly browned. Cool 3 min. on baking sheet; carefully transfer to wire racks. Cool completely.

I love the look! But I thuoght they were dry, so next batch I changed to Philadelphia Cream Swirls with cinnamon& brown sugar 8oz. & changed to 2 cups flour, French Vanilla extract, then refrigerated dough for 1hr.I also left out ground almonds.And put red on cut edge.
