Halloween Witch Finger Cookies
Check out this eerie but exquisite treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 36 whole almonds (for the nails)
- Red food coloring gel (for the blood effect)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Using a tablespoon of dough for each cookie, roll it into a finger shape, tapering one end to create a “finger” tip.
- Place an almond at the tip of each cookie to serve as the “nail,” pressing down gently.
- Use a knife to make subtle indentations in the dough to mimic knuckles for that extra spooky effect.
- Once your cookies are shaped, place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden at the edges.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- To finish, use the red food coloring gel and put a little dollop under each almond to create a creepy “blood” effect. Get creative!
