Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Cut bat wing shapes using a knife or cookie cutter and place them on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges look set. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a rack.

Notes

Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment if it sticks to the rolling pin. Dust the cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar to highlight the wing shapes. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
