Severed Witches’ Fingers

Servings: 28 cookies


INGREDIENTS

  • Sugar cookie dough
  • 150 g (1 1/4 cup)  almond flour 
  • 19 g (1/4 cup)   whey protein isolate powder  
  • 30 g (3 fl oz)   oat fiber  or   coconut flour  
  • 3 g (1/2 tsp) salt
  • 4 g (1 tsp)   glucomannan  
  • 120 g (5 fl oz)  monk fruit sweetener   - ground to confectionery
  • 95 g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter – room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 10 g (2 tsp) pure vanilla extract
  • Cooked raspberry jelly - full batch of jelly – will use 28 tsp for fingers
  • 140 g (1 cup) raspberries frozen
  • 14.4 g (2 packets/2 tbsp)   Knox gelatin powder  
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) of water
  • 30 g (2 tbsp) Lakanto  monk fruit sweetener   (or substitute with sweetener of your choice)
  • Other
  • 28 whole blanched almonds

DIRECTIONS

  • 1.   Prepare the full batch of my sugar cookie dough using the above modified ingredients, but follow the directions as per <>.

  • 2.   Make a full or half batch of the Cooked Raspberry Jelly & Cake Glaze (keto, sugar free, gluten free): <>

  • 3.   While jelly is still hot, pass through sieve to remove all the raspberry seeds. Stir and press down as you mash the cooked jelly through the sieve. Reserve 28 teaspoons of jelly for the cookies. Set aside

  • Shape the witches fingers
  • 4.   Divide your dough into 28 equal weight balls. Roll into tubes of about 8 cm or 3 inches length. Lay the tubes on a parchment lined cookie sheet in two rows

  • 5.   Shape the fingers by pinching at the 1/3 mark from either end. Roll to smooth out the pinched area. Press the dough in towards the center to make a larger knuckle joint. Round the top of the fingertip and flatten the severed end. Repeat until all the fingers have been shaped

  • 6.   For each finger, take one whole blanched almond and insert the rounded end of the almond into the nail bed. Press so that a bit of the almond is just under the cookie dough “cuticle” area. Repeat until all the finger nails have been added

  • 7.   Refrigerate the tray of fingers for a minimum of 6 hours. For best results, refrigerate overnight (chilling the cookie dough will prevent the fingers from expanding during baking)

  • 8.   Preheat the oven to 175 C or 350 F

  • 9.   Just before baking, make 2 small straight cuts at the first knuckle, nearest the nail bed. Use a small teaspoon and make 2 rounded indentations at either end of the center part of the knuckle. Cut a slit in the center of the bracketed indentations. Repeat for all the fingers

  • 10.   Place the tray of finger cookies in the middle position of the preheated oven. Set timer to bake for 10 minutes EXACTLY, and immediately remove tray from oven when timer goes off. It is VERY important NOT to overbake (cookies will look raw when first removed from the oven)

  • 11.   Slide the parchment and cookies onto a cooling rack. Leave alone until the cookies are completely cooled to room temperature. This will take several hours

  • 12.   In the meanwhile, if you have not already done so, make my Keto Cooked Raspberry jelly as directed <>

  • 13.   To make the witches’ fingers look a bit grimy, take about ½ tsp of cocoa powder and using a very small craft/paint brush, dip the tip of the brush into the cocoa, dust of the excess from the tip, then dab around the nail bed, the 2 cuts under the nail bed and the cuts on the knuckle. Also, with a bit of the cocoa left on the brush, brush the sides as well

  • 14.   When the cookies are cooled, dip one end into the clear raspberry jelly, scoop a bit of jelly onto the end as dripping ”blood.” Enjoy!
