Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsalted butter
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup ground pecans
50 almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until fluffy. Blend in vanilla extract and salt. Mix in flour and ground pecans. Shape about 1 tablespoon of dough into a finger, about 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough to form about 50 fingers total.
  • Place fingers 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet; they will expand a little while baking. Stick an almond 'nail' onto the end of each finger. Lightly score some 'knuckles' into the centers using a knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and very lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool.

Tips:

  • To make the cookies more realistic, use almond slivers for the fingernails and dab a bit of red food coloring on the tips.
  • If you don't have a cookie press, you can shape the dough by hand into finger shapes.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them.

Conclusion:

Halloween finger cookies are a fun and easy way to celebrate the spooky holiday. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these realistic-looking treats that are sure to be a hit at your Halloween party. So get creative and have fun with it!
