Spooky realistic wicked witch finger cookies!
Only 4 days are left until Halloween! And we have been having so much fun baking for this year’s Halloween! These wicked witch finger cookies are very easy to make, and they look very realistic too! My niece Sophie really enjoyed shaping and baking these cookies as well.
So if you’re looking for a Halloween recipe that you can make with the help of your children, this recipe is for you! It’s a great activity, and these cookies are very tasty too!
HOW TO MAKE YOUR WITCH FINGER COOKIES LOOK REALISTIC
We used almonds to make nails, rubbed in some ground cinnamon for the “dirty fingers” effect. And used food colouring to add some blood effect. You can also decorate with the help of some red jam (strawberry, raspberry…) by removing the almond after baking, adding a little bit of jam, and then sticking the almond back to the tip. It will give a creepy bloody effect!
