Basic sugar cookies transform into these fearsome claws with a little help from the full moon.
"These are fun cookies for Halloween or a vampire genre party. The cookies have a light vanilla and butter flavor to them, and are the perfect color to really set off the red of the filling. They have a slightly crisp edge and a soft, chewy center. When you take a bite and expose the jam, they really do look like they’re bleeding!"
