Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough 16–17 oz
  • ½ cup strawberry jam

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll pieces of dough into finger-length logs. Use a knife to score shallow lines for knuckles.
  • Press a small indent at one end of each cookie for the “nail.” Spoon a small dab of strawberry jam into each indent.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges. Let cool slightly.
  • Add a little more fresh strawberry jam to the nail indents for a glossy, bloody effect. Dip a toothpick into jam and streak it across the fingers for a gory effect. Let it set before serving.

Notes

  • For cleaner shapes, chill rolled dough for 15 minutes before baking.
  • Smaller finger lengths (about 3 inches) hold their shape best.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
