CHOCOLATE BAT COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. On lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough at a time 1/8 inch thick. (Keep remaining dough in refrigerator until ready to roll.) Cut with 4 1/2x1/2-inch bat-shaped cookie cutter. (If dough becomes too sticky to cut, refrigerate 10 minutes before rerolling.) Place 2 red cinnamon candies on each cookie for eyes. Sprinkle with sugar crystals. On ungreased cookie sheet, place cookies about 1 inch apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

COBWEB COOKIES

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet/ baking tray with baking/parchment paper.
• Sift the flour, cocoa together and add the small pieces of butter and using clean fingers ( or a pastry cutter) rub it completely into the flour/cocoa mixture so that looks like fine crumbs.
• Then add the sugar and milk and stir together with a fork so that it begins to form a dough. use clean hands to make your dough into a ball.
• Wrap your dough in cling film/ plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Remove your dough from the fridge and sprinkle a little flour onto your clean working surface. Roll out your dough until it is about 1/4 inch ( 5 mm) thick, then use your jar lid or cookie cutter to make circles, which you can then place on your cooking sheet / tray.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, then leave them on the tray for another 5 minutes so that they will be firm up enough to remove, after this carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before adding the glaze/ icing.
• Now draw a spiral of icing onto each cookie and while it is still wet, drag a cocktail stick out from the centre of the cookie to the outside ed"ge to make a spider's web effect.
