Witch's Finger Cookies image

from Kraft Food and Family 2009. My kids love to make and eat these. These are not a super sweet cookie... more of an almond shortbread. Tasty and creepy! They take about 25 minutes to bake at 325 in my oven.

Time 35m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups sliced almonds, divided
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • HEAT oven to 325ºF.
  • RESERVE 36 nuts for later use; process remaining nuts in food processor until finely ground. Beat cream cheese, butter, sugar, extract and salt in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in ground nuts. (Dough will be stiff.).
  • ROLL dough into 36 (3-inch) "fingers," using 1 tablespoons dough for each. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray. Press 1 of the reserved nuts into dough in 1 end of each finger for the fingernail. Use sharp knife to make 3 crosswise slits in top of each finger for the knuckles.
  • BAKE 15 to 20 minute or until lightly browned. Cool 3 minute on baking sheet; carefully transfer to wire racks. Cool completely.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. They were still edible, but they weren't very good.

These cookies were a little too crispy for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of almond paste, but I really liked these cookies. The almond flavor was subtle and the cookies were perfectly sweet.

I had some trouble getting the almond paste to mix evenly with the other ingredients, but the cookies still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
