Butter cookies for Halloween

Knead the butter, sugar, and salt. Add the egg yolk and lemon zest and knead in. Finally, add the flour and knead, then refrigerate for 20 minutes. Roll the dough into finger-thick “worms.” Cut into equal-sized pieces. Press the tip of your finger into the dough with the back of a teaspoon and place an almond on top for a fingernail. Press the pieces in slightly to form a finger. Score the creases of the fingers with a knife. Bake at 180°C until golden brown.
