Witch Finger Cookie Recipe

In a bowl, mix the butter with the powdered sugar, the egg, and the vanilla extract. Add the baking powder and salt, then the flour.

Mix all the ingredients until a smooth and homogeneous dough is achieved. Knead very quickly, then place in the fridge for 1 hour.

Take a bit of dough and shape it into fingers, thickening at the joints. Use a knife to imitate the creases of the skin. Place a whole almond to recreate the nails.

Once the fingers are shaped, lightly moisten them with a little water and place them back in the refrigerator for about fifteen minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C, bake the items for 20 to 25 minutes, covering them with parchment paper. Remove the paper for the last 5 minutes to finish baking.

Remove the cookies from the oven and wait a few minutes for them to cool.

To finish, remove the almonds and place a bit of jam in their place, then gently place the almonds back while applying a little pressure. Dip the other end of your finger in the jam.
