Trolls' Toes Cookies
A stubby toe version of the popular witches' fingers Halloween cookies
Ingredients
The Cookies:
- 4 oz butter (unsalted, good quality, and at room temperature)
- ¾ cup confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar/icing sugar)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (good quality)
- 1 ⅓ cups flour (all-purpose)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
For Decorating:
- 4 oz raspberry jam (more or less, as needed)
- 60 slices of almonds (thin, pick out the one that aren't broken)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Cream butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Gradually add flour, baking powder and salt to the mixture.
- Refrigerate the dough for about half an hour, so it’s not too soft to handle.
- Begin by taking small pieces of dough and shaping into a fat, stubby “toe” shape. Use the tip of a butter knife to create a nail bed with a few impressions.
- Use a knife to make the line marks below the nail bed.
- Place on silicone sheet lined baking tray about 2″ apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Cool on rack.
- Put a little jam on the nail bed and add almond slices horizontally to create the nail (trim the ends on long slices). Store in a tin.
Notes
You can add a little green food coloring if you like, but I'd recommend using an organic one.
