Werewolf Claw Finger Cookies

Yumm! Werewolf fingers never looked so good! These very creepy Werewolf Claw Fingers are so cool looking but very simple to make. It is a chocolate shortbread cookies with cashews, frosting and chocolate sprinkles. Here is how  you make it. 

Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Dough
Ingredients:
-1 cup of softened butter
-3/4 cup of powdered sugar
-2 cups of flour
-3 tbs of unsweetened cocoa powder
-1 pinch of salt

Decorations:
-Whole cashews(I used honey roasted)
-Chocolate frosting
-Chocolate sprinkles

Directions:
In a bowl mix the butter and sugar. Next add the flour, cocoa and pinch of salt. Combine well and roll the dough into a flatted ball and place in plastic wrap to chill in the fridge for an hour. 
Take a small ball of dough and begin to make it into a finger shape. To create the knuckles pinch each end of the dough to make a small ball in the center. With a knife draw  lines on two spaces of the finger to create the knuckles. Next firmly place a whole cashew into the dough  at the tip of the "finger."
Place on a baking sheet and bake at 50 degrees for about 15 minutes. 

Once the cookies are complete cool you can begin decorating with the frosting and sprinkles. Spread a small amount of chocolate frosting on the knuckles of the finger and cover with chocolate sprinkles to create the furry fingers. 
​Enjoy!
