Create these spooky almond witch fingers for a fun and delicious Halloween treat.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter and cream cheese are softened for easier mixing.
Add the salt and gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
Mix the flour in small portions to avoid overworking the dough.
Divide the dough into 36 portions and roll each into a finger shape.
If the dough is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Press an almond into one end of each finger to create a 'fingernail.' Use a knife to make knuckle lines.
Press the almond firmly to ensure it sticks during baking.
Place the fingers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the cookies to prevent overbaking.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the cookies from becoming soggy.
Serve the cookies on a festive platter and enjoy your spooky treat!
Arrange the cookies creatively for a fun Halloween presentation.
