Great recipe! Easier than I thought and the entire family loved the bat cookies. I made one batch first and when I make the second I will be sure to roll the dough out thinner. It is so rich that i preferred it crispier than thick and dense. *It took me 15 min to make the dough, 1 hr to chill. I rolled out between two pieces of wax paper which also made for quick clean up!

You MUST chill this dough-as with any dough you are cutting cookies out of for a period of time. I did and they turned out fabulous-we made black cats too-very scary and tasted great!!!

They look cute but these cookies were way too sticky to use a cookie cutter on them. I made one batch after having to keep adding more flour and they turned out ok. I used the rest to make little squares of fudge which turned out better then the actual cookie.
