Easy Witch Finger Cookies (Halloween Cookies)
Craft these spooky Witch Finger Cookies recipe for Halloween! With bloody jam & almond fingernails, they'll creep out your guests.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond essence
- 3 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup blanched almonds
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl use an electric whisk or a stand mixer to cream the butter together with the sugar.
- Add the eggs and almond essence. Whisk until smooth.
- Mix in the flour, cornstarch, and salt until it stiffens up.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Take the dough out of the fridge. Break off pieces and form them into finger shapes.
- Press an almond into one end to resemble a fingernail. Place it on the baking tray. Use a knife or wooden skewer to cut creases into the fingers to simulate knuckles.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the fingers are slightly browned. Take them out and allow them to cool.
- Once the cookies have cooled, fill in the gaps between the cookies and the almonds with jam. Strategically place more jam along the finger to simulate blood.
