Recipe: Yummy Witch finger cookies

Witch finger cookies. In a bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, almond and vanilla extract; beat in flour, baking powder and salt. Add a few drops of green food coloring until it reaches your desired green. Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into finger shape for each cookie.

Press one almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. If you'd like to make a "witch" finger, place a sliced almond over the melted chocolate chip after you remove the cookies from the oven. The chocolate will harden as it cools and will hold the almond in place. You can cook Witch finger cookies using 11 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

If memory serves me right, I think her Halloween Cookies may have been colored a pale green!. Knowing they were basically a sugar cookie shaped into digits AKA fingers, I figured my family would happily indulge. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and, using a paring knife, draw creases for the knuckles on the finger. Transfer the cookies, carefully, to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. While the cookies cool, spray the almond slices with the black food coloring.
