Great halloween cookies
Ingredients:
green food coloring
yellow food coloring
0.5 (18 ounce) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
candy corn
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Knead drops of food color into dough until it is a yucky shade of green.
3. Knead flour into dough.
4. Shape into a 1-in.-thick disk, wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll out.
5. On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/4 inches thick.
6. Using a hand shaped cookie cutter, cut out hands.
7. Re roll and cut scraps once; reserve remaining scraps.
8. Place half the hands 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
9. Make a 1-in. cut between each finger toward palm.
10. Pinch fingers so each is about 1 inches longer, thinner, wavy and gnarled. Press down on fingertips and on palms to make a little thinner.
11. Mark knuckles with back of a knife.
12. Roll reserved scraps into balls for warts. Gently press warts on hands.
13. Bake 7 to 9 minutes until pale golden around edges.
14. Remove and immediately press candy-corn on fingertips for nails.
