LADYFINGERS
These light and delicate sponge-cake cookies are often used to accompany desserts such as sherbet and puddings, and are an important component when making fruit charlottes and tiramisu. Finding them in a supermarket is easy, but making them at home yields especially delicious results.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, and salt; set aside. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and the vanilla until light and creamy, about 4 minutes; set aside.
- In the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a clean whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-high speed with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and continue to beat until soft peaks form. With machine running, gradually add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating into stiff, glossy peaks.
- Fold egg-yolk mixture into egg-white mixture, then fold in dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
- Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe 4-inch cookies onto prepared baking sheets leaving about 1 inch between cookies. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar. Bake until just beginning to brown around the edges, about 8 minutes; rotate pans once after 4 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Will keep, at room temperature, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar and, if desired, sandwich raspberry jam or lemon curd between them.

Steps:
- Place a small amount of food coloring, if using, in a shallow bowl, and, using a paintbrush, color the rounded side of each split almond; set aside to dry.
- Pour 2 cups water into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment. Add sugar; stir to dissolve. Sprinkle with yeast, and let stand until yeast begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Beat in 1 cup flour into yeast on low speed until combined. Beat in coarse salt; add 3 1/2 cups flour, and beat until combined. Continue beating until dough pulls away from bowl, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup flour. Beat 1 minute more. If dough is sticky, add up to 1 cup more flour. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, 1 minute.
- Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Transfer dough to bowl, turning dough to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap; let rest in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a 6-quart straight-sided saucepan over high heat; reduce to a simmer. Add baking soda. Lightly coat two baking sheets with cooking spray. Divide dough into quarters. Work with one quarter at a time, and cover remaining dough with plastic wrap. Divide first quarter into 12 pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece back and forth with your palm forming a long finger shape, about 3 to 4 inches. Pinch dough in two places to form knuckles. Or, to make toes, roll each piece so that it is slightly shorter and fatter, about 2 inches. Pinch in 1 place to form the knuckle. When 12 fingers or toes are formed, transfer to simmering water. Poach for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fingers to the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough, blanching each set of 12 fingers or toes before making more.
- Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush pretzel fingers and toes with the egg wash. Using a sharp knife, lightly score each knuckle about three times. Sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary, if using. Position almond nails, pushing them into dough to attach. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on wire rack.
LADIES' FINGERS
Make these eerie, but totally edible almond cookies that resemble ladies' fingers. The final touch is red fingernails, which are dyed raw almonds. Let them beckon to you from beyond the grave, summoning you right over to the serving plate.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats) or parchment paper, and set aside.
- Place food coloring in a shallow bowl. Using a small paintbrush, color one rounded half of each almond. Set aside to dry.
- Separate 1 egg. Set aside the white. In a small bowl, whisk together yolk, remaining egg, and vanilla. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Beat on medium speed until well combined. Add egg mixture, and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Wrap the dough in plastic, and chill until firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough in half. Work with one piece at a time, keeping remaining dough covered with plastic wrap and chilled. Divide the first half into 15 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece back and forth with palms into finger shapes, 3 to 4 inches long. Pinch dough in two places to form knuckles. Score each knuckle lightly with the back of a small knife. Transfer fingers to prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
- When all fingers are formed, brush lightly with egg white. Position almond nails; push into dough to attach.
- Bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
