Our Halloween

This is so late, but we figured we should still post a lil collection of the AMAZING and spooooooky goodies we made this lovely Hallows Eve.

First things first: WITCHES' FINGERS
Caitlin has been making these with her momma ever since she was a little girl. AWWWW.
Dough:
-1 cup butter
-1 cup icing sugar
-1 egg
-1 tsp vanilla
-2 3/4 cups flour
-1 tsp baking powder
-1 tsp salt
Toppings (nails and blood):
-3/4 cup whole blanched almonds
-red decorator gel

Mix the dough and put it in the fridge for about a half hour. Shape the dough into creepy fingers with lotsa knuckle and stuff going on, and press an almond in as the nail. Take a fork to make pronounced wrinkles on the knucles.

Bake at 325 for about 15-20 minutes, let cool, and then take off each almond and squeeze decorator gel underneath then put it back into place, making the blood ooze. YUM!

Next project, a new, but DELICIOUS one: Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies, from here!
Cookies:
-2 cups flour
-1/2 tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-2 teaspoons cinnamon
-1 tsp nutmeg
-1 cup butter
-1 cup sugar
-1 tbsp brown sugar
-1 egg
-2 tsp vanilla
And for the Icing:
-4 cups icing sugar
-1/2 cup butter
-2 tsp vanilla

Bake cookies at 375 for about 8 minutes, cool, and ice.

The last thing we made were some beaauuutiful birthday cupcakes for our dear friend Alia! They were just from a box, but check out that decorating, yo!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy weekend!
