Talk about finger foods!
These are pretty simple cookies that are fun to make and a blast for the halloween holidays. However, they do need to spend a decent amount of time in the freezer.
A couple of tips I learned the hard way:
- Make sure you give these the proper time they need in the freezer. This will make a big difference.
- Roll these a little on the thin side. When they cook and the margarine melts, they will fatten out a bit.
- Add some raspberry jam or red icing to the blunt end to add some extra gore. Have fun with these!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Margarine
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- Almond Slices
Method
Step 1
Cream the sugar and margarine until fluffy. Add the vanilla and continue to mix thoroughly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and zest. Add the mixture to the butter and sugar and mix until a dough is formed.
Step 3
Roll the dough into a log, wrap in plastic wrap and put in the freezer for an hour or two.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350
Step 5
After spending time in the freezer, the dough will be easier to form. Cut off a slice and roll into a thin log, finger length. Pinch in two different places to make knuckles. Use a knife to cut wrinkles into the knuckles and add an almond slice as a finger nail.
Step 6
After preparing your "fingers", place them back into the freezer for 15-30 minutes before cooking. This will help them retain their shape in the oven.
Step 7
Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes.
