bake: halloween goodies! aka bloody finger cookies...
All I can say is that it is almost Halloween y'all. These cookies kind of horrify me and fascinate me at once. But as I am not the squeamish type (I don't think), I would love to freak out my upcoming party guests with these gory sweets. Thanks to Hilary for this craaazy recipe for Bake.
Are you going to a Halloween party and want to really WOW the guests with a gory dessert? This is the one for you. These bloody finger cookies always elicit a “gross!” response but the party-goers can’t stop eating them!
A cross between a butter and sugar cookie (and really, how can that be bad?), these scary treats are easy to make and are super creepy looking. When you’re shaping the fingers, keep in mind that the cookies will spread so make sure they’re not too fat.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Almond slices
Red decorating gel or frosting
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Almond slices
Red decorating gel or frosting

Preparation
Preheat oven to 325° F. Combine dry ingredients. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla, beat in dry ingredients. Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
Working with one-quarter of the dough at a time and keeping remaining dough refrigerated, roll heaping teaspoons full of dough for each cookie.
Since shaping the fingers can get a little tricky, here are step by step directions with photos.
Squeeze dough at three places to create knuckle shapes.
· To bloody the nail bed, lift up the almond, squeeze red decorator gel onto nail bed, and press almond back in place so gel oozes out from underneath.
· To bloody the finger, dilute red frosting with water then dip the bottom of the finger in the frosting.
Thanks to Nosh with Me for another great Bake!
