Bat-Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Cookie Cutter
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use a bat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a rack.
Notes
Chill the cut bats for 10 minutes before baking if the dough feels soft. This helps the shapes hold during baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For a party, arrange them on a dark platter so the bat outlines stand out.
