Spooky Witch Finger Cookies image

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups flour
6 drops green food coloring (more or less if needed)
36 whole almonds (blanched)
1 (.67 ounce) tube red gel
1 cup strawberry jam - optional

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl mix together the butter, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
  • Stir in salt, baking powder, and flour and mix until combined well.
  • Add in green food coloring until you get the color you desire.
  • Leave dough in the mixing bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from fridge and roll dough into 1 1/4 inch balls.
  • Then roll each ball into a finger shape about 4-5 inches long. Press an almond into the end of each finger. Using a toothpick make indentations to resemble creases in the fingers where knuckles would be.
  • Place fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until set. You don't want to overcook these cookies or they will dry out and break easily.
  • Cool completely before adding the gel. When cooled, remove the almond and place a little red gel at the base of the nail bed and then replace the almond. Press so that the gel shows around the nail.
  • You can also add gel or jam to the end of the finger or you can leave them the way they are.
  • These witch fingers are so delicious dipped in jam.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out as green as the picture. They were more like a light brown.

These cookies were a little dry, but the frosting helped to make them more moist.

I had a hard time finding almond slivers, so I used chopped almonds instead. They worked just fine.

These witch finger cookies were a hit at my Halloween party! They were easy to make and looked so realistic. I used almond slivers for the fingernails and they added a nice touch.
