These spooky looking cookies will please your ghouls.
1 cup butter, Softened
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 Egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Almong Slivers
4 -5 drops green food coloring paste
1 Tube Red Decorating Gel
Preheat you oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl mix together butter, confectioners sugar, egg, vanila extract, almond extract, and green food coloring. Add flour, salt, and baking powder and blend together. Once the dough is blended together well, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Spray cookie sheets with non-stick spray. Take about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough and shape into a finger shape, for knuckles use the blunt side of the knife to place impressions in the cookies for the knuckles. Gently press a slivered almond at the end of the “finger” to represent the fingernail.
Place cookies on cookie sheet, and bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Remove cookies from cookie sheet by gently lifing the finger off of the cookie, they are very delicate when warm. When cookies have cooled slightly decorate with red gel where the cuticles would go.
You may want to add a little extra dough to make some lovely warts. I took these cookies to my class and they loved them. You can make witch finger cookies at home, this is a recipe that kids will enjoy. Although, you may have to tell everyone that these really are cookies 
My class thought these wren’t edible at first, they thought they were a Halloween toy, but once I told them they were cookies, they thought they were fun Halloween treats.
