Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) – not roasted pepitas but raw ones.Sunflower seeds for a nut-free option (if nut-free, also use vanilla in place of almond extract).I think blanched almonds are the best looking, but you could also use: It could also be an interesting way to have them all to yourself. I guess you could if you want them to be messy and have the appearance of gross blood clots. Make sure to use a jam that doesn’t have large chunks of strawberries in it. It’s all natual, plus it tastes way better than decorating gel! Raspberry jam would also be great but for the blood effect, but I think strawberry is better.
Strawberry jam – this takes the place of red decorating gel.Almonds – these are to create the fingernails.But keep reading for a gluten-free version! Almond flour, coconut flour, gluten-free baking blends, etc. Flour – you can use all-purpose flour or white whole wheat flour.I also think the almond extract adds a LOT to this recipe so please don’t omit it unless you really have to. Vanilla and almond extracts – I just love almond extract with strawberry jam, but if you’re nut-free or don’t have almond extract, you can sub vanilla extract.You really need to follow the recipe 100% so that the cookies hold their shape perfectly. Egg – I don’t think an egg sub would work, though I could be wrong.If you’re making these for kids who are used to regularly sweetened treats, then you’ll definitely want to use the extra sugar. Granulated sugar – optional! If you’re making these for adults who like not-very-sweet treats, then you don’t need it.Powdered sugar – I’ve only tried these with powdered sugar so can’t say for sure if they’d work if you sub in granulated sugar.If you need a dairy-free recipe for Halloween, you could try this Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake and top it with little spiders or pipe on a spiderweb. Coconut oil and other types of oil are 100% fat and would cause the fingers to spread and not hold their shape.
