| | Today, I made my first batch of Witch Finger Cookies: I'm practicing for Sherilyn's Halloween Party. I also wanted to make some for Mom, Nicole, and Jill to take to their jobs. One batch is supposed to yield 5 dozen cookies: we'll see. They turned out pretty good. The dough chilled for more than 30 minutes because of a few episodes of Law&Order: Criminal Intent, so it was tough to separate the batch into 4 parts. I let it rest at room temp for about 10 minutes before I could work with it. I only used about a third of 1 of 4 parts of the batch and ended up with 10 cookies. At that rate, I may end up with 10 dozen cookies from only one batch! the end product was a little fatter than I expected, but it did not only happen to me. I got the recipe online and they warned about the fattening of the fingers as they baked. I thought that I formed the dough pretty thin, but obviously not thin enough. Camille and Celene helped me put on the almond finger nails. The recipe also called for the cookies to bake at 325° for 20-25 minutes; however, if I didn't get them out at 10 minutes, They would have been so burnt that only the garbage could eat them. After baking, the girls both helped me paint the Witch nails with the blood red candy paste Celene and I made earlier. We'll try again tomorrow.
