Be careful, looks are deceiving! These cookies appear to be Dracula's fingers, but they taste like rich, dreamy peanut butter.
Ingredients
- 3 cup(s) all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon(s) baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt shopping list
- 3/4 cup(s) unsalted butter, softened shopping list
- 3/4 cup(s) creamy peanut butter shopping list
- 1 1/3 cup(s) confectioners' sugar shopping list
- 2 large eggs shopping list
- 2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) almond extract shopping list
- egg white from 1 large egg, for brushing shopping list
- sliced almonds shopping list
- Black and red writing gel shopping list
How to make it
- Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Line cookie sheets with parchment or reusable nonstick liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, with mixer on medium, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
- With mixer on low, beat in sugar, eggs, and extracts until well blended.
- Beat in flour mixture until dough forms a ball.
- Chill dough 30 minutes.
- For each finger, with floured hands, roll 1 tablespoon slightly rounded dough into a 4 1/2- to 5-inch rope; transfer to prepared cookie sheet (if rope breaks, just squeeze back together).
- Continue making ropes to fill sheet, spacing fingers 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Use the back of a small knife to make knuckle marks on fingers. Brush fingers with egg white and press an almond "nail" in place. Paint "nails" with gel; let dry.
- Bake 18 minutes, or until lightly golden and cracked in places.
- Cool on sheet 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Make remaining fingers
