RECIPE TUESDAY

MUMMY DOGS






INGREDIENTS
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations™ refrigerated flaky dough sheet
2 1/2 slices American cheese, quartered (2.5 oz)
10 large hot dogs
Cooking spray
Mustard or ketchup, if desired


Witch Finger Cookies

DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.
3. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).
4. Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like "bandages," stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate "bandages" so hot dog shows through for "face." On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
5. Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on "face."
Ingredients
1 cup butter softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1 cup whole blanched almonds
Cooking Instructions
Add butter and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in egg and lemon juice. Sift together flour baking soda and salt and stir into mixture until combined. Cover and chill for 1 hour.


Preheat oven to 325F. Spray baking sheets with light coat of nonstick cooking spray.


Form fingers from 1 tablespoon of dough by rolling dough with clean hands. Use a knife to score lines for the finger’s knuckle. Press an almond firmly into the dough for a fingernail.


Place cookies on prepared baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool for five minutes and place cookies on a rack to cool completely. Arrange on a spooky platter and serve.
