As Requested

Here is the recipe for the Frankenstein Monster Toes

1 pouch Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
7 drops neon green food coloring
36 whole blanched almonds ( I couldn't find these so i just used sliced almonds)
1/2 teaspoon red food color

In a large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour,melted butter,egg, almond extract and green food color until soft dough forms. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour.

Meanwhile, place almonds and red food color in resealable food-storage bag; shake bag until almonds are evenly coated with food color. Place on waxed paper to dry.

Heat oven to 375. For each cookie, roll heaping teaspoonful of dough into 2 1/2 inch finger shape. On ungreased cookie sheets, place about 2 inches apart.

Press almond into one end of each "toe" to look like toenail. About 1 inch from each end of "toe", squeeze dough slightly; with knife, gently make lines in dough to look like knuckles.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until set. (Cookies should not brown around edges.) Cool 1 minute then remove to cooling racks.

*Obviously you could also use any sugar cookie recipe of your choice.
