Time 50m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsalted butter
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup ground pecans
50 almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until fluffy. Blend in vanilla extract and salt. Mix in flour and ground pecans. Shape about 1 tablespoon of dough into a finger, about 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough to form about 50 fingers total.
  • Place fingers 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet; they will expand a little while baking. Stick an almond 'nail' onto the end of each finger. Lightly score some 'knuckles' into the centers using a knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and very lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality butter, flour, and sugar for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cookies: This will help to create clean edges and prevent the cookies from tearing.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Decorate the cookies while they are still warm: This will help the frosting or sprinkles to adhere better.

Conclusion:

These Halloween finger cookies are a fun and festive treat that is perfect for any Halloween party or gathering. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways, making them a great project for kids of all ages.
