Hey everyone! Happy Halloween Weekend. With Halloween around the corner, I cannot think of baking anything else apart from these spooky treats and creepy looking halloween desserts. My Kids love baking at this time of the year and with kids in the kitchen, all I can think of is some cute and spooky Halloween recipes.👻👻

Today, my little one came up with this idea of making Witch's Finger Sugar Cookies. He had seen one of his friends make it and he too wanted to bake some. I couldn't say no to that and so I made these Witch's Finger Sugar Cookies.

These Sugar Cookies are the best Halloween Cookies which I have made to date. They sure take some effort and care to make, but they turn out to be adorable and of course, these are super delicious.

I am going to leave some of these out on the living room center table for Halloween decorations. I am sure people are going to love it. 😋😋

When the cookies were ready, to my surprise my kids were not at all scared and creeped out by these. In fact, they were so excited to take photos with this one and share it with their friends 😋

My husband too loved these Witch's Finger Sugar Cookies and said that he loved how real these fingers looked 👻😍

😋 Let's talk taste

Don't be intimidated by the fingers friends. These are actually super simple to bake and will be the perfect addition to your Halloween table.

These taste just like our favorite Sugar cookies. Crusty and Buttery on the outside, while they are chewy n the inside. The Almond slice gets toasted after it gets baked and tastes delicious. Also, the hint of that red candy melt is what makes these Sugar cookies, taste even good.

In fact, I love to dip mine in more of these Red Candy Melts and enjoy them. 😋😋

Yes, absolutely. You can make Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies by making the following replacements.

Replace All Purpose Flour with Gluten-Free Baking Flour. I prefer to use Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Baking Powder.

Also, use 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum. This is very important to make your Cookie dough.

You can also replace Vanilla Extract with Almond Extract for more amazing flavors.

Refrigerate the Cookie dough for at least 1 hour. Refrigeration of this cookie dough is very important. Or else, your cookie dough shall be too sticky and you will not be able to roll it.
