Categories     Desserts     Cookies

Time 1h15m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup whole almonds
1 (.75 ounce) tube red decorating gel

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.

MUENSTER MONSTER HASH BROWN FINGERS

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil cooking spray, for the baking dish
3 1/2 cups (350 grams) frozen hash browns, thawed
3 tablespoons (24 grams) cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 large egg, beaten
3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup (75 grams) finely grated Muenster cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped Italian parsley
Neutral oil, for pan frying
Ketchup, for serving

Steps:

  • Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment with an inch or so of overhang on all sides.
  • Put the hash browns in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the cornstarch, salt and smoked paprika and toss well to coat the potatoes evenly. Add the egg and melted butter and toss well to coat. Fold in the Muenster and parsley. Press the mixture firmly into the lined baking dish and flatten the top and sides evenly. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Pour about 1/2 inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Remove the hash browns from the baking dish and cut in half with a serrated knife, then cut each half into 5 "fingers."
  • The oil is ready when a shred of potato sizzles vigorously on contact. Slide half of the fingers into the oil and fry until deep golden and set on the bottom (you will know it's time to flip when they are easy to turn), about 3 minutes. Flip and fry the second side in the same way, about 3 minutes more. Drain on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining fingers. Season with salt and serve with ketchup on the side.

Time 25m

Yield 16 fingers, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 (8 count) cans crescent roll dough
1 (16 ounce) package of cocktail smokies
8 black olives, halved lengthwise to use as nails

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Open a can of crescent rolls, and unroll the dough.
  • Place one triangular piece of crescent roll dough on the cookie sheet.
  • Put a cocktail smokie in the wide end of the dough triangle.
  • Roll the dough around the sausage. You should have one layer of dough covering it completely-no edges peeking out! This is the base of the finger, and you should still have some crescent roll dough left over.
  • Roll the remaining dough to form the rest of the finger, tapering it at the end and rounding it off so it looks realistic.
  • Put 1/2 of an olive on the end of the finger. Tuck the edges into the dough so that it looks like a fingernail. Use a knife to score "wrinkles" into the knuckles.
  • Put the fingers in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown.
