This is actually the second time I made these this year, and they were a pretty big hit both times. The first time I made them, they were more of a pecan shortbread type of cookie. This made for a particularly fragile finger. This second time that I made them, they were more of an altered sugar cookie with hints of shortbread. Tasty, but somewhat boring. I will continue my quest for a better tasting cookie, but I am really looking forward to hearing feedback.
The biggest secret for this cookie is to make sure that you don't make a recipe that contains any baking soda or powder. This makes for really fat fingers, not to mention ugly. Here is a link to the recipe.
Happy Halloween everyone!!!!!
These were the hit of the party. I think people might have been afraid to eat them, since they looked so real...It was the "finger nails" that made them look so realistic.
Those are the coolest Halloween cookies I have ever seen. I forwarded the post onto my wife, and have asked here to work on a version of these for our Halloween party next year (Halloween is on a Friday...whooo).
I cant wait until Halloween to make some of these treats for the trick or treaters,my famous party of at least 125 people.I'll have to go into overdrive to bake enough of these finger licking & eating goodies to make sure all of my guests get a handful.
