Creepy Witch'S Fingers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. butter, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla
1 2/3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. whole almonds (blanched if desired)
1 tube red decorating gel

Preparation

Beat butter, powdered sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla until creamy.
Sift and add dry ingredients.
Blend to make soft dough.
Roll into fingers (will rise when baked so make smaller than you would like the finished finger to be).
Push almonds down and slightly into top of finger.
Use a knife to create three \"wrinkles\" in middle of finger for knuckle.
Bake at 325\u00b0 for 18 - 23 minutes or until very light golden brown.
Remove from oven. Put red gel around \"cuticle\" and lightly smudge around with tip of tube.
Be careful not to push almond out.
