Frankenstein S Monster S Toes Recipe

Ingredients

1

                        pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix

1/4

cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1/3

cup butter or margarine, melted

1

egg

1/2

teaspoon almond extract

7

drops green food color

36

whole blanched almonds

1/2

teaspoon red food color

Preparation

In large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, melted butter, egg, almond extract and green food color until soft dough forms. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour.

Meanwhile, place almonds and red food color in resealable food-storage plastic bag; shake bag until almonds are evenly coated with food color. Place on paper plate or waxed paper to dry. Set aside.

Heat oven to 375°F. For each cookie, roll heaping teaspoonful of dough into 2 1/2-inch finger shape. On ungreased cookie sheets, place shapes 2 inches apart.

Press almond, colored side up, into one end of each “toe” to look like toenail. About 1 inch from each end of each “toe,” squeeze dough slightly; with knife, gently make lines in dough to look like knuckles.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until set. (Cookies should not brown along edges.) Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
