Ghoulish Finger Cookies

Looking for some spooky cookies to make for Halloween. Try this great recipe.

Start first by warming up your oven to 325 degrees.

Then get your dough ready. In a bowl place one cup sugar, one cup of soft butter, one egg, tsp of almond extract, one tsp of vanilla, and mix until you get a nice creamy mixture. When you get to that point you will then put 2 and 3/4 cups of flour in, along with one tsp of salt, and one tsp of baking powder. And mix till combined.

Place your dough on your surface and divide it into four portions. You want to cover each one with plastic wrap. Then place all four in the fridge. Leave them there to chill for thirty minutes.

The next step after that is to take one tsp of dough and roll it into a finger shape. Take a slivered almond and use it for the finger nail. You can use some red decorator gel to hold the nail in place. With a sharp pairing knife, make a x where the knuckle would be.

Place your fingers on a well oiled baking sheet and bake for twenty minutes or until they are golden brown in color. The fingers will puff up while baking. When they are done just remove and cool. You can also use your red decorator gel on the bottom of the finger to make it look like it was cut off.

This recipe makes alot of cookies. If you don't use all the dough, just place it in the freezer until you are ready to use again.
