severed fingers take hotdogs and carve a finger nail shape on one end then slice across shallow about an inch up from that and then another inch up for the wrinkles at the knukles. Really a hit!

Brains Cookies with Blood Glaze-
For the cookies:
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
One-half teaspoon baking soda
One-half teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
One-half cup very finely chopped walnuts, or pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
One-half drop red food coloring
One-half drop blue food coloring
For the glaze:
2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 drop red food coloring

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Into a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Alternating with the eggs, add to the butter mixture, beating well after the addition of each. Fold in the nuts, vanilla, and red and blue food coloring, being careful not to overmix the dough.

Place a large colander or collapsible steamer over a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a rubber spatula, push the dough through the holes to make long tubes of dough. Pile and loosely pat the dough strands into clumps to resemble brains. Bake until golden brown on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. To make the "blood glaze," in a small bowl, combine the confectioner's sugar with the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk. Whisk together, adding more milk as necessary to make a thick glaze. Add the food coloring and whisk to combine. Drizzle the "blood" onto the cookies and serve either warm or at room temperature.


Hope you can use any or all! Have a spooky Halloween!
