Spooky Witch Finger Cookies
Are you looking for a fun baking project with your kiddos? These creepy looking witch finger cookies are fun for a ghoulish Halloween party.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 ½ to 4 cups flour depends on humidity + 1/3 cup for dusting
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar (whip until fluffy). Add egg, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix slightly.
- Add in baking powder and flour; mix until the dough is not-tacky to the touch (should not stick to your fingers, but should be sticky).
- Place dough in the fridge for 1 hour. Take out a small ball (1/3 of the dough), and roll it out on a lightly dusted surface.
- Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Simply roll out some sugar-cookie dough into a thin line (make your fingers thin because they will spread), apply an almond shard and score the knuckles.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and place in the freezer to chill for 3 minutes.
- Bake cookies for 7 to 12 minutes. Cook until the edges are just brown.
- Brush with a little cocoa-powder after baking (with a paint brush) to make the hands look dirty and give them contrast.
Notes
Don’t worry about selecting perfect almonds, because the uglier the nails, the creepier.
