Add Almonds:
- Firmly press an almond into the end of each dough finger to create the appearance of a fingernail.
-
Create Knuckles:
- Beneath the almond and at the opposite end of the finger, press in the dough to form a knuckle halfway down.
- Use the back of a table knife to make indents into the knuckle, resembling the joints of a finger.
-
Bake:
- Place the shaped fingers onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are a pale golden color, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Continue Baking:
- As the first batch of cookies bakes, remove more dough from the refrigerator to shape additional fingers.
-
Cool:
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for three minutes.
- Carefully lift up the almond from each finger and add a touch of red decorating gel onto the nail bed before placing the almond back into place, creating a creepy oozing effect.
