2 sticks butter
1/4 c. sugar
2 1/2 c. cake flour
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. nuts, chopped
Powdered sugar, sifted
Cream butter and sugar. Mix in the cake flour, vanilla and nuts. Chill cookie dough fingers overnight.
When ready to bake, shape the dough into "finger size" shapes and place on a nonstick cookie sheet. You can use the dull side of a butter knife to carve little finger wrinkles and use an almond or bright candy for the fingernail!
Bake at 250 degrees F. for 1 hour. Cool cookies well on rack. After cooled, roll in powdered sugar.
