Witches Fingers.... We still haven't figured out where to hide the witches... Recipe Ingredients 1 cup butter, softened 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon almond extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup whole almonds 1 (.75 ounce) tube red decorating gel Directions 1.Combine the butter, sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric mixer; gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, continually beating; refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes. 2.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets. 3.Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon at a time onto a piece of waxed paper. Use the waxed paper to roll the dough into a thin finger-shaped cookie. Press one almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. You can also cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance. Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets. 4.Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes. 5.Remove the almond from the end of each cookie; squeeze a small amount of red decorating gel into the cavity; replace the almond to cause the gel to ooze out around the tip of the cookie. Witch Finger Cookies 2 These are witch finger cookies. Nice little almond flavoured cookies with almonds as nails. Turned out pretty nice actually. I made them to bring to work for Halloween. **edit:** Since I had a number of comments today...here is the recipe (from canadianliving.com) Witch Finger Cookies 1 cup (250 mL) butter, softened 1 cup (250 mL) icing sugar 1 egg 1 tsp (5 mL) almond extract 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla 2-3/4 cups (675 mL) all-purpose flour 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder 1 tsp (5 mL) salt 3/4 cup (175 mL) whole blanched almonds 1 tube (19 g) red decorator gel (blood for fingers) Preparation: In bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, almond extract and vanilla; beat in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Working with one quarter of the dough at a time and keeping remaining dough refrigerated, roll heaping teaspoonful (5 mL) of dough into finger shape for each cookie. Press almond firmly into 1end for nail. Squeeze in centre to create knuckle shape; using paring knife, make slashes in several places to form knuckle. Place on lightly greased baking sheets; bake in 325°F (160°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until pale golden. Let cool for 3 minutes. Lift up almond; squeeze red decorator gel onto nail bed and press almond back into place, so gel oozes out from underneath. Remove from baking sheets; let cool on racks. Repeat with remaining dough.
