Realistic Hallowe'en Severed Finger Cookies are fun and easy to make for kids and adults. Here i will make plain human, and green witch versions (just add green food colouring with the wet ingredients).
I am using plain sugar cookie dough from scratch, but you can use whatever cookie dough you want, you can buy the dough pre-made if you want. Adding peanut butter would be simple and easy.
Tools REQUIRED:
Mixing bowls
Wooden or other large spoon
Small teaspon
Small paintbrush (or possibly Qtip)
Cookie sheet (optional aluminum foil)
Paper Towel
Plastic Baggie (for green version)
Oven or toaster oven
Creepy Tray for serving
----------
Sugar Cookie Dough (2 dozen cookies)
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup margarine or butter
2 Teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt
2 eggs
2-3 cups flour
2 dozen almond slices ( or pumpkin seeds if you have allergies)
some dry hot chocolate powder mix, cocoa, cinnamon powder or other brown powder
optional:
2 dozen mini white marshmallows for bones
red and green food colouring
optional blood:
red icing ( 1/4 cup icing sugar and a bit of butter/margarine), red jam, or something red to hold the marshmallow "bones"

Really now. Practice what you preach some much if any?
It's finally ok to give someone the finger!
I did the same with a chopped hand bday cake (see pic) using almonds for the bones, and everyone loved that 'extra touch'. I like the pretzel idea though too, because it's a little extra "CRUNCH' when you eat the cookie.
Thanks for the inspiring post!
and Happy Halloween!!
already in the house. Thanks for a great idea! Too bad you can no longer hand out homemade things at Halloween!
