You can buy almonds this way, or you can easily make them yourself from whole almonds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>To blanch almonds<\/strong>: place them in a heat-safe bowl and bring water to a boil. Pour the hot water over the almonds and let them sit for 2-3 minutes. Strain the almonds, run them under cold water until they&rsquo;re cool enough to handle, then squeeze them between your fingers to quickly remove the almond skins. Pat them dry before coloring them red for this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>To prevent the cookies from spreading<\/strong> too much, don&rsquo;t overmix the cookie dough, and freeze the cookies for 10 minutes before baking them so they better retain their shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"cwp-food-measuring-tips\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header\">Measuring Tips<\/h3>\n\t\t<p>Our recipes are developed using weight measurements, and we highly recommend using a kitchen scale for baking whenever possible.

Almond flour is typically made from blanched almonds (ie, with skin removed) and is very finely ground. It has a light, delicate color and texture, and is ideal for dessert recipes.<br><br>Almond meal is made from almonds with the skins still on. The color is darker, and the texture is typically coarser. It is great for savory applications like breading meat, but is not the best choice for this recipe. You CAN use almond meal in these cookies, but the texture will be coarser and more crumbly, so it is not recommended.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1728942454191\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to keep the witch finger cookies from spreading<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To prevent these cookies from spreading, and help them keep their finger shape, make sure you don&rsquo;t overmix the cookie dough during the butter\/sugar creaming step. Additionally, freezing the cookies for 10 minutes before baking them helps them retain their shape.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1728938250884\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Make-Ahead and Storage Information<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The cookie dough can be made several days in advance and kept, well-wrapped, in the refrigerator until you&rsquo;re ready to form and bake the cookies. It&rsquo;s hard to work with when it&rsquo;s very cold, so let it sit at room temperature and soften for 20-30 minutes before shaping the cookies. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight, then proceed with the recipe.<br><br>Once baked, these cookies keep well, and can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months. If some almonds fall off during storage, you can always stick them on using a little melted candy coating as glue.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Witch finger cookies are a classic Halloween treat!
