Instructions

Add the butter to the bowl of a mixer and beat until even and slightly fluffy.

Add the cheese and salt. Mix until incorporated. 

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between each one. 

Add the flour and rosemary (if using). Mix until mixture comes together and is the texture of coarse sand. 

Turn the dough out onto a board and mix by hand until mixture is fully incorporated.  (I use marble slab to keep the butter cool.)

Shape the dough into finger shapes, you should have about 36. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. 

Add one sliced almond to each finger, to represent a fingernail. 

Cover and refrigerate the dough for a few hours before baking. 

Preheat the oven to 325

Bake for about 18 minutes. Until lightly golden brown. (Oven temperatures may vary. Do not undercook)
