Spooky Batwitches
Thanks to Ann Marie B for sharing this recipe!
These are Ice Cream Sandwiches, or, you can
just decorate the baked cookie instead.
What you'll need:
1 package (18oz) refrigerated cookie dough
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, slightly softenend
Orange and Black nonpareils
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Knead cocoa powder into the dough; knead
flour into the dough.
2. Roll dough to a 1/4 in. thickness. Using a bat template, cut out bat
shapes. (Draw or use a bat pattern to guide you.) Insert a drinking straw
at the top of the bat shapes for the eyes. Place cutouts on ungreased
baking sheets. Bake until firm, 12-15 minutes; let cool completely.
3. Line a 15x11 inch baking sheet with foil. Using a small offset spatula
and working quickly, apply about 1/3 cup softened ice cream to half the
cookies. Quickly place remaining cookies, flat side down, onto ice-cream
topped cookies.
4. Place batwitches on prepared baking sheet and cover pan loosely with
plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 1 hr.
5. Roll the edges of the frozen batwitches in orange and black nonpareils,
gently pressing so they adhere. Shake off excess. Servce immediately or
wrap securely in plastic wrap and return to freezer.
** You can omit the ice cream and just decorate the baked cookies... maybe
melted dark chocolate to outline the wings, melted white chocolate to make
bat fangs.
This recipe came from "The Great American Cookie Collection."
