Witch's Fingers:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of almond extract
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 and 2/3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 cup of whole almonds
- 1 tube of red decorating gel
- Red food coloring (preferably a paste)
- Golden star sprinkles

Directions:
Let's make some creepy Witch's Fingers!

1. Make the Dough: Preheat your oven to 325°F and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, mix butter, powdered sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric blender until fully mixed. Then, add flour, baking powder, and salt while beating non-stop.

2. Chill and Shape: Chill the mixed dough for 30 minutes. Once cool, put the dough in a pastry bag and squeeze it onto the baking sheet to form finger shapes.

3. Bake and Cool: Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cookies get a lightly golden color. Take the baking sheet from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Move the cookies to a wire rack to cool all the way.

4. Decorate Fingers: Once the cookies are cold, squeeze a bit of red decorating gel onto the "sharper" end of the cookie (the "nail bed"). Push whole almonds onto the red gel to form nails, letting the gel ooze out around the sides. Use a small paintbrush to paint the almond "nails" with red food coloring. Lastly, sprinkle golden star sprinkles over the red nails. Serve your witch fingers on a plate with strawberry jam!

Eyeballs:

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons (Tbsp) of butter, softened
- 1 and 1/4 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 6 ounces of white chocolate
- 1 small bag of colorful candies (for the iris)
- Red decorating gel
- Black decorating gel

Directions:
Now, let's make some eerie Eyeballs!

1. Make the Dough Balls: Beat the softened butter and smooth peanut butter together until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and keep beating until they form a thick but even cookie dough. Use a spoon to form small balls of cookie dough.

2. Chill and Coat: Put the cookie-dough balls on a paper-lined baking sheet and chill for at least 30 minutes. After that time, melt white chocolate in the oven in a heat-safe bowl for 20 seconds, then stir until smooth. Using a fork, dip the chilled cookie dough balls until coated by the melted chocolate and put back on the baking sheet.

3. Add Iris and Chill Again: While the chocolate is still runny, gently push colorful candies into the center of each chocolate-coated cookie-dough ball (for the "iris"). Put the coated dough balls back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until firm.

4. Decorate Eyeballs: Take the dough balls from the fridge. Use red decorating gel to make squiggly lines (like "blood vessels") going out from the colored candy. Put a tiny dot of black decorating gel in the center of the colored candy to make a "pupil." Your "eyeballs" are ready to serve.

Making fun, spooky treats like these is a great way to celebrate! You'll get to mix, bake, and top goodies that look scary but taste truly yummy. Get ready to surprise everyone with your smartly hidden treats!
