Witchfinger Cookies Recipe

Mix together butter, sugar, egg and extract. Add flour, baking powder and salt, plus a little green food coloring to create a ghoulish look. Form into a soft dough. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325 F. Take a Tbsp. of dough and roll out into a long finger shape. Dip an almond into a little jam and then press into the end for the fingernail,

Make a knuckle shape in the center, slash in a few wrinkles and top with small bits of dough to make a few warts.

Bake 20 minutes on parchment paper-lined or slightly greased cookie sheet.

Serve cookies to the person who howls the loudest.
