Cookies!! I love these cookies! Eerie, yummy. And quite easy to make---------
CREEPY FINGERS
Yield: 5 dozen
1 cup margarine (or butter, softened)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup Almonds, whole blanched
1 Tube red decorator gel
(optional, not pictured)
In bowl, beat together margarine, sugar, egg, almond extract and vanilla. Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt. Cover, and refrigerate 30 minutes. Working with one quarter of the dough at a time, and keeping remainder refrigerated, roll heaping teaspoonful of dough into finger shape for each cookie. Press almond firmly into 1 end for a fingernail. Squeeze in centre to create knuckle shape. Using SHARP paring knife, make slashes in several places to form knuckle wrinkles.
Place on lightly greased baking sheets; bake in 325 degrees F (160C) oven for 20-25 minutes or until pale golden brown. Let cool for 3 minutes. (next step-OPTIONAL)Lift up almond, squeeze red decorator gel onto nail bed and press almond back in place while cookie is still warm, but cooled, so gel oozes out from underneath. You can also make slashes in the finger and fill them with "blood."
(photo doesn't have the 'blood' effect)
Remove from baking sheets and let cool on racks. Repeat with remaining dough.
Note: I found this recipe online several years ago, of which I can't remember where. Sorry.
