Halloween is getting closer and closer so I hope you enjoy all of the Halloween recipes and crafts. Gross everyone out with the following cookie recipe!
Creepy Witches Fingers
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup icing sugar
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla
1 2/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup almonds, whole blanched
1 tube red decorator gel
In a bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, almond extract and vanilla. Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Working with on quarter of the dough at a time and keeping remainder in refrigerator, roll a heaping teaspoonful of dough into finger shape for each cookie. Press almond firmly into one end for nail. Squeeze in center to create knuckle shape. Using paring knife, make slashes in several places to form knuckle.
Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until pale golden. Let cool for 3 minutes. Lift up almond and squeeze red decorator gel onto nail bed and press almond back in place so gel oozes out from underneath to create the look of blood. You can also make slashes in the finger and fill them with red decorator gel for more blood. Remove from baking sheets and let cool on racks. Repeat with remaining dough.
