Instructions:

1. Make the Dough

4. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

5. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes so it becomes easier to shape.

2. Shape the Fingers

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Scoop a tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms into a skinny finger shape—make them thinner than you want the final result (they puff slightly when baking).

3. Press the center gently to create knuckles.

4. Use a small knife or toothpick to carve lines/wrinkles around the knuckles for a realistic, creepy look.

5. Press an almond at the tip for a fingernail.

   • Want bloody nails? Brush the bottom of the almond with a little jam before attaching.

3. Bake

• Place shaped fingers on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

• Bake for 20–25 minutes, until lightly golden on the edges.

• Cool completely on a wire rack.

4. Add the Final “Bloody” Details

• Once cooled, remove the almond, add a dab of jam, and press the almond back in for a gory effect.

• Brush extra jam around the knuckle cracks if you want them extra spooky.

Tips for Maximum Spookiness

✔ Add a touch of green food coloring into half the dough for moldy witch fingers.
✔ Dip ends in melted chocolate for a “burnt” effect.
✔ Use slivered almonds for creepy cracked nails.
✔ Make some fingers shorter, longer, crooked, or double-jointed!
