Biscuit dough:

1. Carefully separate the whites from the yolks.

2. Add ¾ of sugar to yolks and rub until white, until the grains disappear and the mass increases 3 times in volume.

4. At the end of whipping pour sugar.

5. When proteins increase in volume by 4-8 times and will not spill when tilting the bowl, stop beating. Over-whipped whites during baking will “plant” the dough.

8. Bake the dough immediately after mixing. Grease a baking sheet or pan with cold oil, sprinkle with flour, or put a sheet of white paper using the same procedure.

BTW:  Do not touch the biscuit for the first 10-15 minutes! He may sit down or bake badly.

9. The finished sponge cake is easily separated from the walls of the mold. When pressing with a finger, the dimple is quickly leveled, the upper crust is golden brown. For some time, the finished sponge cake is left in the oven. Stand for about a day, so that the dough was pliable for further preparation.

Butter cream:

1. Pour the milk into the pan, pour in the sugar, stirring slowly, bring to the boil so that the sugar is completely dissolved.

Description of preparation:

An interesting Halloween holiday is coming, or rather on the night of October 31 to November 1. Halloween is becoming increasingly popular in our country. The history of the origin of this holiday says that this night the gates to other worlds open and all evil spirits come out. On this night, sacrifices were made to appease evil spirits. Well, now this holiday has become nothing more than a funny tradition. I suggest you cook delicious crumbly halloween cookies  into a theme that has the name “Witch fingers”, and they look really very natural and perfectly suited for a thematic party and decorate a festive table. Surprise your guests, so unusual and they will appreciate your imagination and preparation.

So, witch Fingers Cookies - Recipe.

The softened butter or it can be melted a little in the microwave, mixed with powdered sugar and whipped using an electric mixer or a whisk.

By the way, powdered sugar can be replaced with sugar.

In the resulting mass, break the egg, add vanilla and a teaspoon of baking powder and beat again with an electric mixer until a homogeneous consistency.

Sift the flour through a sieve and add to the oil-egg mass, knead the dough until smooth.

Ready to wrap the dough in food film or in a plastic bag and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

After the required time has passed, remove the dough from the refrigerator.

Cover the baking sheet with baking paper or use it in the old-fashioned way, sprinkle the baking tray with flour.

The oven is preheated to a temperature of 200 degrees.

Pinch off a small amount of dough from the dough and roll up the sausages and put almonds on one side of the sausages, pressing the nuts into the dough.

Sausages do not make too thick, as when baking, they slightly increase in size.

Using a toothpick to create an imitation of wrinkles on sausages, you can use a knife and make shallow transverse cuts along the entire length of the sausage.

Finger blanks send to the oven for baking for 20-30 minutes to golden color.

This is what they did yesterday with my daughter. The baby was a little unwell, but not enough to keep her in bed. So it was necessary to take something. On her initiative, they baked "scary" cookies :-). Could not think that I will celebrateHalloween , so far from my nature is a holiday (I can't stand the horror films and all the more non-pure power is nonsense). But the appearance of children changes a lot in life. And this too! :-) Even the pumpkin was cut today :-). After all, tomorrow the celebration of the unclean ... :-) Before All Saints Day.

If you do not want to bake your fingers, bake something else, but the cookies are so tasty that it is definitely worth a try. Often I take it as a basis for cutting out figure cookies.

If you do not hurry (which is not possible with a 5-year-old child from the side), you can put the shaped cookies in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Then it keeps its shape much better.

And instead of almonds in the dough, you can use almond flour, then in general you just need to mix all the ingredients for the dough together.
