Witch Fingers Cookies

Small spooky cookies shaped like fingers bursting with texture. Made from a butter-sugar base with flour replaced partially by almond flour for chew and richness. Egg yolk binds but keeps it tender. Milk adds moisture—adjustable for dough consistency. Vanilla subbed with almond extract for a nutty twist. Candy 'nails' replaced by sliced blanched almonds, reddish sugar-coated peanuts swapped for bright red chili-coated peanuts adding heat with sweet. Chill dough to firm up—critical for shaping fingers. Bake until pale golden underneath with subtle crackle on edge. Cool completely before handling; otherwise, they crumble. Great for Halloween or anytime you want to freak out guests. Crunchy, chewy, sweet with a whisper of spice from the chili peanuts. No em dash here. Practical, reliable, worried about dough dryness? Add milk teaspoon by teaspoon.
