WITCH FINGERS COOKIES

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

Almonds (for the fingernails)

Red jam (like raspberry or strawberry, for a bloody effect)

Instructions

Mix the Dough: Beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually incorporate the flour and baking powder, and continue mixing until a soft dough forms.

    From the Fingers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take small amounts of the dough and shape them into finger-like forms, making one end slightly thicker to resemble a finger. Use a knife to create knuckle lines for added detail.

      Attach the Fingernails: Press an almond into the tip of each shaped dough to create the appearance of a fingernail. This not only enhances the spooky look but also adds a delicious crunch.

        Bake: Place the shaped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 16 to 18 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.

          Cool and Add Decorations: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. For an extra eerie effect, you can add a small dollop of red jam at the base of the almond to mimic blood.
