These delightful fingers are made from a cookie base that is both crispy and chewy. With a little bit of creativity, you can turn simple ingredients into a hauntingly beautiful dish. Your friends and family will be amazed at how realistic they look—and they’ll taste just as good!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whole almonds (for fingernails)
- Red food coloring (optional, for a gory effect)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Take small portions of dough and shape them into finger-like forms. Make sure to create knuckles by squeezing the dough slightly at intervals.
- Press a whole almond into the tip of each finger to resemble a fingernail.
- For an extra spooky touch, you can apply a bit of red food coloring around the base of the almond to give a bloody appearance.
- Place the shaped fingers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between each. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the witches fingers to cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Spooky Witches Fingers are a perfect blend of fright and delight. Whether for Halloween or just for fun, they’re sure to be a hit at any gathering! Enjoy this deliciously eerie treat and watch your guests be charmed and surprised by your baking skills.
