Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and confectioner’s sugar. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold this mix into the wet ingredients.
  4. Divide the dough into small portions, roll into balls, and stretch each into an elongated shape.
  5. Create indentations on each 'finger' for knuckles and score lines for realism.
  6. Place a sliced almond at the tip of each cookie and fill indentations with melted red candy melts.
  7. Refrigerate or freeze the decorated cookies for 15-30 minutes.
  8. Bake the cookies for 15-16 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven, let cool on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack.
