SPOOKY WITCHES' FINGERS
This is a traditional Christmas cookie recipe that we have had in our family for years. All I did was change the shape to make them look like fingers for our annual Halloween party. The cookies make a great conversation piece. My guests loved them!

Steps:
- 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.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes.
- 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.

WITCHY-POO FINGERS
According to the Canadian Living Test Kitchen, this is their most requested Hallowe'en recipe. I haven't made them, but think I will this year. Sounds ghoulishly good!

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter sugar, egg and extracts together.
- In another mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
- Beat dry ingredients into butter mixture, then cover bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F; have cookie sheets, lined with parchment paper, ready.
- Remove only 1/4 of the dough from refrigerator (leave rest refrigerated to stay cold); measure out heaping teaspoonfuls and shape into fingers.
- Press an almond firmly into the end of each"finger" to make the fingernail.
- Below the almond and at the opposite end of the finger, press in dough to create knuckle halfway down; using the back of a table knife, make indents into the knuckle (look at your own fingers to get an idea of what this should look like).
- If you want really big ugly fingers with two gnarled knuckles, use about a tbsp of dough per cookie.
- Place on paper-lined cookie sheets and bake in preheated oven until a pale golden colour--about 20 to 25 minutes.
- After first sheet goes into the oven, remove more dough from the fridge to make more fingers.
- When cookies are done, remove from oven and let cool for three minutes.
- Carefully lift up almond from each finger and squeeze some red decorating gel onto nail bed, then press almond back into place; the red gel will creepily ooze out.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

HALLOWEEN WITCHES' FINGERS BREADSTICKS
Witch finger will you eat first? Here are two ways to make delightfully creepy witches' fingers breadsticks - use either sliced almonds for the gnarly fingernail or go for bell pepper for a nut-free version. Mani-pedi, anyone?

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or, if the temperature on your package of refrigerated breadstick dough indicates a different temperature, follow the temperature on the package. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- Unroll the breadsticks onto a large cutting board (or your counter or wherever you like to do doughy things).
- Using a pizza cutter, slice each breadstick in half vertically and again horizontally. Each breadstick should be about 3-4 inches long and 1/2-inch to 1 inch wide, but perfection is highly discouraged! The more rustic the more realistic. :)
- Roll the dough a bit to round it a bit/give it more of a finger shape. Lay it on the baking sheet.
- Using your thumb, press down on the narrowest tip of each breadstick. If using almonds, press a sliced almond onto each tip. If using bell peppers, you'll add them AFTER the breadsticks have baked.
- Now, you have a couple of options. You can grab the pizza cutter or a bread knife and press a three or four horizontal lines into the middle of the breadstick so it'll look a bit like a knuckle. And/or, if desired, brush lightly with egg. This will give them a slightly shinier and more golden appearance. Or skip those steps and just stick 'em in the oven already!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until puffy and starting to brown on the top. But again, if the label on your breadsticks indicates a different time, I recommend going by that time and just checking them often.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If adding bell pepper for the fingernails, after they've cooled, dab the tip with a bit of cream cheese and stick the bell pepper on. You may want to dry the pepper off with a paper towel so it will adhere better.
- Arrange on a plate or in mini mason jars filled with marinara or pizza sauce. Bloooody!
- Almond-tipped fingers keep in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. Because of the cream cheese and cut pepper, I recommend storing that version in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip broken ends of pretzel rods in coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; press a jelly bean half onto dipped end of each pretzel to resemble a fingernail. Let stand until candy coating is almost set. Using a toothpick, make lines on each pretzel to resemble knuckles.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl mix together the butter, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
- Stir in salt, baking powder, and flour and mix until combined well.
- Add in green food coloring until you get the color you desire.
- Leave dough in the mixing bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from fridge and roll dough into 1 1/4 inch balls.
- Then roll each ball into a finger shape about 4-5 inches long. Press an almond into the end of each finger. Using a toothpick make indentations to resemble creases in the fingers where knuckles would be.
- Place fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until set. You don't want to overcook these cookies or they will dry out and break easily.
- Cool completely before adding the gel. When cooled, remove the almond and place a little red gel at the base of the nail bed and then replace the almond. Press so that the gel shows around the nail.
- You can also add gel or jam to the end of the finger or you can leave them the way they are.
- These witch fingers are so delicious dipped in jam.

Steps:
- 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. (Don't skip this step.)
- 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets. (I use parchment paper, no need to grease)
- 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. I liked mine natural color.
- 6. Cook's Tip: You can add green food coloring to the dough and when you take them out of the oven , you can add a single chocolate chip for a wart. You can add red gel food coloring or raspberry jam for the severed end of the finger. Possibilities are endless! The cookies do enlarge when baked (almost double the thickness) so make sure you don't make them too round when you are rolling them out. My Dad wanted me to make a hand with a thumb, so I gave it my best shot! LOL! This was so much fun! Enjoy!

- Dip or brush the almonds with the black frosting then place on one of the prepared baking sheets and allow to dry. If you use a brush make sure it is food safe quality.
- Combine green candy melts and 2 tbs coconut oil (or shortening) in a microwave safe bowl. I recommend heating for 30 seconds in the microwave on 50% power, stirring, and repeat until melted. You can even take it out of the microwave when there are still a few lumps and let is sit for about a minute then stir. The residual heat should melt the remaining candy melts. If the candy melts are still too thick stir in more coconut oil 1 tbs at a time until your reach your desired consistency. You don’t want to overheat the candy melts and cause it to burn and get clumpy.
- Break pretzel rods in half if they are really long. Dip the pretzel rods into the melted candy melts and place on the 2nd prepared baking sheet.
