Finger Food :o)
I made these using the NFSC recipe from this site...
You just take your cookie dough recipe and roll into thin round strips. Make sure that they are fairly thin because the dough will spread during baking and you don't want fat fingers.
After you roll them you pinch in the middle to form a knuckle.
Then I took a little paring knife and made shallow grooves in the knuckles to look like wrinkles.
I slid sliced almonds into the tips of the dough to make the nails, for the regular fingers I slid the almonds in via the pointed end of the almond so the nail would be real looking, and for the witch fingers I slid the round end of the almonds in so the tip of the nails would have a pointed look, and baked.
I cant recall how long I baked the fingers for...what I did to start with was make some TRIAL cookies and then once I perfected them I made cookie sheet fulls.
Then I just baked at the appropriate temperature and time, and cooled them on a wire rack.
For the regular fingers I didn't add any coloring to the cookie mix, but for the witch fingers I added some green.
After they cooled I brushed red food coloring on the witch fingers nails like you would nail polish. And on the end of the cookies to look like bloody severed numbs.
Then I used some colored chalk dust to lightly highlight the knuckles with a regular sponge tipped eye shadow applicator.
Happy Halloween Everyone, Mary
