These witches’ fingers are scary good, and so fun to make!

1

Preheat the oven to 350F° (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

2

In a separate bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again.

3

Add desired amount of green food coloring and mix well. Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture in 2-3 smaller additions, stirring well after each addition.

4

Portion the dough into 20 dough balls using a small (1.5 tablespoon) cookie scoop. Roll each dough ball between your hands to create a long skinny finger shape, then place on the prepared baking sheets 2” apart.

5

Press an almond into the end of each cookie, with the pointy side of the almond facing away from the cookie.

6

Use a butter knife to create lines to resemble knuckles, then pinch the dough around the almond and in between the lines to make it finger shaped.

7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and lightly golden on the bottom.

8

Heat the jam in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir to make it easier for dipping.

9

Allow the cookies to cool 2 minutes before carefully removing the almonds from the cookies and dipping them in the jam, then press them back into the same spot on the cookies. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
