Witch Finger Cookies
Witch Finger Cookies are a spooky and delicious treat that are perfect for Halloween parties or any other occasion that calls for a little bit of frightful fun. These cookies are easy to make and are sure to impress your guests with their creepy appearance and delicious taste.
To make Witch Finger Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole blanched almonds
- Red food coloring
To make 24 cookies, start by preheating your oven to 325°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Roll the dough into finger-shaped logs, about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Use a knife to make knuckle marks in the dough, and press an almond into the end of each finger to create a fingernail.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, use a small paintbrush to paint red food coloring around the base of each almond to create a bloody effect.
These Witch Finger Cookies are a perfect Halloween treat that are sure to impress your guests. They are crunchy, buttery, and have a subtle almond flavor that pairs perfectly with the spooky appearance of the cookies. Serve them with a glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa for a delicious and festive treat.
