Spooky bat-shaped cookies made with Gold Medal® flour - a festive treat for Halloween!
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons red cinnamon candies (96 candies)
  • Black decorator sugar crystals
Instructions:
  • Combine butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed or with a spoon. Add flour, cocoa, and salt; stir until combined. Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out one portion of dough at a time on a lightly floured surface until it is 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate the remaining dough until you're ready to roll it out. Use a 4 1/2x1/2-inch bat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. If the dough gets too sticky, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before rolling it out again. Place two red cinnamon candies on each cookie for the eyes and sprinkle with sugar crystals. Arrange the cookies about 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are firm. Let cool for 1 minute, then transfer to a cooling rack.
