Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups (100g) raw spinach
- ⅓ cup (75g) butter softened
- ¼ cup (50g) smooth peanut butter
- ¼ cup (50g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups (225g) all purpose flour (plain flour)
To decorate:
- Toasted almond flakes/slices
- seedless raspberry jam
Instructions
- Wilt the spinach in a saucepan with a small amount of boiling water, then run under cold water to refresh, squeeze out the moisture, chop up the spinach then puree it with a hand held stick blender until smooth. (NOTE: make it really smooth in order to get a good green colour)
- Beat the butter, peanut butter and sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Add in the spinach puree and almond extract and beat well. Sift in the flour and mix.
- Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it forms a soft dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into 4-inch long finger shapes and gently press the sides to create knuckles.
- Use a knife to cut horizontal ridges for knuckles. Press an almond slice into the end of each finger.
- Place the fingers onto the prepared baking tray and bake for 15 minutes or until the edges begin to turn very slightly golden.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the tray and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dip the ends in the raspberry jam to create the look of severed fingers.
Notes
- Cook's Tip: Be sure to puree the spinach to a paste so the colour of the witch finger cookies is evenly green.
- Make it vegan: use dairy free butter
- Make it gluten-free: use gluten free flour
