This recipe comes from my grandmother. She started making these at Christmas time back in 1951. This recipe has been handed down from generation to generation. It is also very simple and not expensive to make. My grandmother had 9 children, so any recipe that was not expensive to make was a blessing.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

An old-fashioned cookie recipe that will be delicious at Christmas, but they're so good you'll make them year round. The cookie is almost like a shortbread. Buttery and not overly sweet, they're very delicate. Dipping them in chocolate adds just the right amount of sweetness. We loved the flavor from the crushed nuts.

How To Make nana rose's butter fingers

Test Kitchen Tips

These are very delicate. We recommend making them on the small side so they're easier to dip.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325.

Step 2

Mix butter, sugar, all-purpose flour, water, and vanilla in a medium size bowl.
Step 3

Shape into small fingers and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4

Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes or until brown.
Step 5

FOR DIPPING AND COATING: (Make sure cookies are completely cool before dipping and coating.) Melt chips and shortening together and melt over low heat.
Step 6

Dip cookies in melted chocolate halfway.
Step 7

Dip cookies in nuts and place on waxed paper until cool and set. ENJOY! :)
