Baking: Witches Fingers

I made these last year for our little Halloween lunch party and they went down well. I was inspired by a TV show that made similar ones though they used almonds for the finger nails and I used jam. I also added chocolate chips because I had some hanging round but you can miss out.

They are really easy to make and look great.

You start with a basic biscuit recipe feel free to use your own but this is mine:

• 110g Butter
• 110g Caster Sugar
• 1 Beaten Egg
• 220g of Plain Flour
• Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
• 50g Chocolate Chips

You will also need jam we used strawberry but choose your favourite. 

• Beat the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy
• Beat in the egg and vanilla
• Add the chocolate chips and flour and combine to make a dough
• Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins
• Once its chilled pre heat your oven to 180oc/160 fan
• Shape pieces of dough into long finger and make a little dip at one end
• Place a blob of jam in each dip 
• Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown
• Enjoy!
