Easy Halloween Recipe: Witch Finger CBD Sugar Cookies

Nani Dominguez-Smith

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start having fun in the kitchen. Since the pandemic, staying inside for holidays has become the trend for parties and celebrations. As a result, hosts have gotten more and more creative with the minute details. After all, Halloween is literally all about the decor- so why not get fancy with some themed snacks? However, with that said, it can be easy to get carried away with the plethora of easy Halloween recipe ideas out there. To support your party aesthetic without the unnecessary overwhelm, today we’re highlighting this quick and easy CBD sugar cookie recipe for your Halloween menu.

 

These witch finger cookies pair amazingly with just about any dessert dip. If you’re looking for suggestions, here are some we highly recommend:

Pumpkin Pie Dip

Strawberry Cheesecake Dip

Sweet Potato Hummus (Paleo & Whole30 approved)

 

Because Halloween falls on a Tuesday, you and your guests will need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed the morning after. CBD is a great celebratory alternative to alcohol for many reasons- but mainly because it gives a similar euphoric effect that enhances your experience without the worry of being sick or hungover the next day. Unlike its counterpart, THC, CBD won’t give you or your guests any psychoactive side effects, so you’ll be perfectly fine to drive home safely at the end of the night.

Instructions

  1. Combine sugar and butter in a mixing bowl with your hand or electric mixer until it becomes a fluffy batter consistency.

  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour.

  7. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Remove ¼ of the dough from the mixing bowl at a time (keep the rest in the fridge). 
  9. Roll 2 teaspoons of dough into the shape of a finger.
  10. Press the tip of your finger into the top of the dough finger to create an indent for the nail (you will insert an almond here later).
  11. Use a fork or knife to create lines where the knuckles should be.
  12. Repeat until baking sheets are full and mixing bowl is empty.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until fingers are light golden.
