Bonnies Spooky Witches Fingers Recipes

SPOOKY WITCH FINGER COOKIES

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.
