Halloween food is so much fun! These Halloween Witch Finger Cookies were actually very simple to make and don’t you think they look pretty real? My son told me they look like a really mean creatures fingers…that will work too! 😉
These would be perfect for a Halloween party, kids school party or even just for a fun Halloween food night at home with the family.
I want to give you a tip when making these….flour is your best friend! Without a lot of flour in them they will not rise properly and be flat, smashed fingers (I guess that would work if you are going for the ran over finger look). 🙂 Anyway see how to add flour below.

Ingredients
- Be sure to Folllow Raining Hot Coupons on Pinterest for more RECIPES!
- 1 roll sugar cookie dough (in the fridge section) or your own sugar cookie recipe
- 1-2 cups flour
- sliced or whole almonds peeled
- Cocoa powder
- small paint brush (like a watercolor brush)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
- Take sugar cookie dough mix out of packaging and knead 1 cup of flour into it (you may need to add a few drops of water if it gets too dry). This part is the hardest part but just work at it and it will eventually combine.
- Pull off a piece of dough (about the size of half a golf ball) and you are going to want to add as much more flour as you can to that piece before it starts to break up
- Make that piece into a finger shape but make sure it is a little thinner than your finger (you want these pretty thin because they will expand. I found it was easier to use my hand and squeeze it into a finger shape rather than rolling it since this dough is full of flour.
- Shape the knuckles and using the back of a knife, press wrinkle lines into it.
- Add the almond to the tip
- Bake for 7-8 minutes
- Pull out of oven and right away, press the almond into the tip to make it look like a big cuticle
- After cooling for a few minutes use a paintbrush and cocoa powder to make it look more real.
- Enjoy!
