This weekend I was at my friends Crystals party and she made these amazing witches finger cookies. I thought they looked really cool and creepy. So for Halloween I made some for my office mates. They are just the right amount of creepy and yumminess to go with our office decorations. Thanks to Crystal and Martha Stewart (where I got the recipe from) I love these cookies and they were a blast to make.
recipe:
red icing
32 blanched or roasted whole almonds
8 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 cups all-purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mills flour, Love this stuff!!)
2 cups all-purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mills flour, Love this stuff!!)
Mix butter, sugar, beaten egg, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt and flour and refrigerate after for about 30 mins. Then shape the fingers out of the dough score with a knife. Press almonds into the tips of the fingers and bake for 20-25 mins at 350 degrees until lightly brown. Let cool on wire rack, then add the icing around the nail beds for the blood look. I found out that the almonds tend to pop off, so I ended up icing the nail beds to help keep them on.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
