If you are looking for a simple, quick, no-mess Halloween-themed treat to make, these witch’s finger cookies are perfect. Store-bought cookie dough makes them easy and red gel icing adds the perfect finishing touch.
Ingredients:
Store-bought or homemade sugar cookie dough 1 whole almond for each cookie Ready-made red gel icing
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape a tablespoon or two of dough into a log. Shape the dough with your hands until it resembles a crooked finger – the gnarlier the better! Press a whole almond into the end where the fingernail would be. Put into the freezer for about 10 minutes. Don’t skip this step! Putting your witch’s fingers into the freezer will help them retain their shape during the baking process. Bake the witch’s fingers according to the directions on the dough. Let them cool. For a fantastic finishing touch, paint your fingernail almond with red gel icing.
