Make Eggless Halloween witch finger cookies for Halloween treat. Halloween or All saints Eve is a yearly celebration in many countries observed on 31st October eve, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day. You can read more about the customs and why it is celebrated in Wikipedia. I just thought of making some sugar cookies for some fun with my little boy. It was fun making these cookies with my little boy who helped me in shaping the dough, licking the jam, giggling over almond nails..
You can easily make 15-20 cookies depending on the size of the cookies.

  5. Cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy.

  6. Add milk and vanilla extract and mix it well.

  7. Now add the flour, mix it well and make a cookie dough.

  8. Roll a tablespoon of dough into a finger shape. Press lightly on the sides. Place the fingers about 2-3 inches apart on a cookie tray. Make a thumb impression on one end to stick almonds for nails. Lightly apply jam on one side of the almond and stick it on the end.

  9. Use a table knife or tooth pick to make three crosswise knuckle marks.

  10. Bake about 12 minutes. Do not over bake else they will become very crunchy and start changing colour. Let it cool down completely and Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

You can add extra milk if the cookie dough is too tight and you are not able to shape it. You can use the same cookie dough to make plain sugar cookies and using cookie cutter, shape them and decorate as per your preference.

    Hi Priya, loved the idea of these cookies. I tried today but its becoming quite flat ibstead of round like yours. I tried refrigerating the dough overnight, its better but still getting flat. Can u suggest what can be done.
