Halloween party finger food, literally. Form zesty cookie dough into creepy witch fingers and use a blanched almond for the fingernail (recipe below).
Makes about 48 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 Cup butter, softened
- 1 Cup(s) powdered sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 Tsp lemon juice
- 2 2/3 Cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1 Tsp baking soda
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 1 Cup whole, blanched almonds
Steps
- Add butter and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in egg and lemon juice. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt and stir into mixture until combined. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325F. Spray baking sheets with light coat of nonstick cooking spray.
- Form fingers from 1 tablespoon of dough, by rolling dough with clean hands. Use a knife to score lines for the finger’s knuckle. Press an almond firmly into the dough for a fingernail.
- Place cookies on prepared baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool for five minutes and place cookies on a rack to cool completely. Arrange on a spooky platter and serve.
