Cookie dough or witch fingers

1. In a bowl mix the flour and salt. We heat the butter a little bit in the micro, with 1/2 minute at low temperature it arrives and we add it to the bowl with the flour.
2. Add the sugar, the eggs and the vanilla essence. We put our hands and put the dough together. We only have to knead 2 or 3 minutes, the ingredients come together quickly.
3. We put the dough in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap or as in this case in an airtight bag. It must be cold for at least half an hour.
4. We preheat the oven to 180º C.

Witch’s Finger Shape

1. With a rolling pin, flatten the dough until it is about 2 cm. thick and cut into strips. As if it were Preschool, we mold each strip into the shape of a finger.
2. With the thick edge of a knife we ​​scratch the fingers to give it more realism.
3. If we want a longer or shorter finger, we will modify the amount of dough we take for each cookie.
4. We can even twist the fingers to give it a more witch-like finger look. By pinching the dough, the fingers of the dead crumb are quite successful.
5. We place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
6. Once placed on the tray we place the whole almond as a nail.

Baking and final presentation of witch fingers

1. Mix the egg yolk with a few drops of milk and paint the cookies with a brush or brush, thus preventing them from burning.
2. Bake the cookies at 175º C in the middle tray with temperature above, below and air, for 12 or 15 minutes, until we see them lightly golden.
3. When taking them out of the oven, we let them rest on the tray for five minutes and then transfer to a rack.
4. Once they have completely cooled, place them in a bowl with the jam in a small bowl.
5. If we want we give it a more realistic touch with sugar paste or strawberry syrup, truly terrifying.

Tips for some fluffy witch fingers

• When shaping the cookie dough, look at your fingers to get the most accurate shape possible to that of real fingers.
• Include defective almonds (broken somewhere or with a fissure) will look great (the witch has been dead for several months) and will be even more horrifying.
• A great snack or dinner, where the little ones at home will have a great time, not only in the preparation but when they see the final result.
• If they are left over (which I doubt), they are perfectly preserved in an airtight tin for several days like any cookie. We already have our terrifying cookies ready!
