Oval Punch
How could I pull these cookies off?
I'm planning on making Witches Finger Cookies, and I'm going to use this sugar cookie recipe (it makes approx. 4 1/2 dozen cookies):
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 2/3 cups flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Now, what I'm planning on doing is making them into ovals, putting green frosting on them, and then candy corn for finger nails. Also, I'm going to add some white chocolate chips (so that they're kinda warty), and some Hawaiian Punch, so that they're red on the inside.
My question is, how much chocolate chips will I need to use, and how much Hawaiian punch will I need to use?
Thanks so much!

Spooky Witches Fingers
"Almonds act as fingernails and red decorating gel as blood for these finger-shaped cookies that will provide a great treat for any Halloween party."
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup whole almonds
1 (.75 ounce) tube red decorating gel
1. Combine the butter, sugar, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric mixer; gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, continually beating; refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
3. Remove dough from refrigerator in small amounts. Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon at a time onto a piece of waxed paper. Use the waxed paper to roll the dough into a thin finger-shaped cookie. Press one almond into one end of each cookie to give the appearance of a long fingernail. Squeeze cookie near the tip and again near the center of each to give the impression of knuckles. You can also cut into the dough with a sharp knife at the same points to help give a more finger-like appearance. Arrange the shaped cookies on the baking sheets.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly golden in color, 20 to 25 minutes.
5. Remove the almond from the end of each cookie; squeeze a small amount of red decorating gel into the cavity; replace the almond to cause the gel to ooze out around the tip of the cookie.
