Witch Finger Cookies are a spooky and delicious treat perfect for Halloween celebrations. These eerie cookies are shaped like fingers and adorned with almond ‘nails’ for a frightful touch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole almonds
  • Red food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  6. Take small portions of dough and shape them into finger-like forms, making them slightly thicker in the middle and tapering at the ends.
  7. Press an almond into the tip of each cookie to resemble a fingernail.
  8. If desired, use red food coloring to create a bloody effect around the almond.
  9. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
  10. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, consider adding almond extract to the dough.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Feel free to experiment with different shapes and decorations for a unique twist.
