- 1⁄2 cup oat bran

To Make Fingers:
- Form dough into 2-3 inch finger shape (longer if you want gangly fingers!) on the baking sheets.
- Use a fork to make knuckle crease's. Use one almond to make an indent at the tip of the fingers (don not leave almond in cookie, that will come after baking).
- Bake fingers 8-10 minutes or until firm. Cool 10 minutes.
-
Decorating:
- Mix corn syrup and red food colouring. Add a generous dab of red syrup to indent and place an almond on top -- it's okay to let it ooze!
- Happy Halloween!

Why "SoupCookie"?
My cousin Ryan use to come to my house after school sometimes and was *always* hungry! So he used to make his version of chocolate chip cookies and I can't remember what he did or didn't do right but the cookies never failed to come out flat and doughy and gooey. We'd put them in a bowl with milk and eat it with a spoon.....sooooo good!
To this very day his recipe has not been deciphered ;)
