SPOOKY WITCHES' FINGERS
This is a traditional Christmas cookie recipe that we have had in our family for years. All I did was change the shape to make them look like fingers for our annual Halloween party. The cookies make a great conversation piece. My guests loved them!

Steps:
- Combine the butter, sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric mixer; gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, continually beating; refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
- Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon at a time onto a piece of waxed paper. Use the waxed paper to roll the dough into a thin finger-shaped cookie. Press one almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. You can also cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance. Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove the almond from the end of each cookie; squeeze a small amount of red decorating gel into the cavity; replace the almond to cause the gel to ooze out around the tip of the cookie.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the butter, sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric mixer; gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, continually beating; refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes. (Don't skip this step.)
- 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets. (I use parchment paper, no need to grease)
- 3. Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon at a time onto a piece of waxed paper. Use the waxed paper to roll the dough into a thin finger-shaped cookie. Press one almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. You can also cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance. Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets.
- 4. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes.
- 5. Remove the almond from the end of each cookie; squeeze a small amount of red decorating gel into the cavity; replace the almond to cause the gel to ooze out around the tip of the cookie. I liked mine natural color.
- 6. Cook's Tip: You can add green food coloring to the dough and when you take them out of the oven , you can add a single chocolate chip for a wart. You can add red gel food coloring or raspberry jam for the severed end of the finger. Possibilities are endless! The cookies do enlarge when baked (almost double the thickness) so make sure you don't make them too round when you are rolling them out. My Dad wanted me to make a hand with a thumb, so I gave it my best shot! LOL! This was so much fun! Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right dough: For a chewier finger, use a bread dough or pizza dough. For a crispier finger, use a puff pastry dough.
- Chill the dough before baking: This helps the dough to hold its shape better in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to score the dough: This will help the dough to rise evenly in the oven.
- Bake the fingers until they are golden brown: This ensures that they are cooked through.
- Let the fingers cool completely before decorating: This will help the decorations to stick better.
- Get creative with your decorations: You can use almond slivers for fingernails, red icing for blood, and green icing for warts.
Conclusion:
Witches' fingers are a fun and easy Halloween treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little creativity, you can make witches' fingers that are both spooky and delicious. So get in the kitchen and start baking!
