When we eat chicken fingers we don’t get grossed out, because we know chickens don’t have fingers. Also, chicken fingers don’t look like features seen on any living creature. Even dipping them in blood-red ketchup is no biggie. On the other hand (no pun intended), you’ve got to use mind-over-matter tricks to justify munching on these Shortbread Finger Cookies.
Someone with a pretty sick or creative mind figured out that shortbread dough is the same color as light skin and invented these creepy confections. They even went further to ensure anatomical correctness by adding some slits to resemble knuckles and using almonds to look like sharp, pointy fingernails. A gleefully ghoulish twist on “finger foods,” these buttery shortbread cookies are perfect for Halloween parties or trick-or-treat bags. If you’re planning a party and want to achieve a high level of disgust, then definitely add these finger cookies to the spread. Also from Williams-Sonoma is the No-Bake Halloween Haunted House.
