Finnish Coffee Fingers
Here are some Finnish Coffee Fingers for you. Theres no coffee (or fingers) in these cookies but its a cookie that goes well with a cup of coffee or Chai tea. I brought them into my work and my co-workers gave me a lot of really nice comments on them. Its a basic butter cookie which is soft and delicate and has a wonderful sweet almond flavor. If youre not big on almond flavor you can use vanilla extract instead and top with a different nut of your choice, pistachio would look real pretty 
Of course now its no longer a Finnish Coffee Finger but thats OK because thats how cookies evolve. Have fun making these cookies!
