BATS AND COBWEBS
We make this for Halloween every year at my son's request! It's like spaghetti using bow-tie pasta! It is mixed together with mozzarella cheese cubes and baked in the oven. The bow-tie pasta is the bats and the stringy, gooey mozzarella cheese is the cobwebs!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

BAT AND COBWEB COOKIES
Just as setting out milk and cookies will appease a jolly elf, these gingerbread critters are sure to tame ornery beasts. Lemony royal icing cloaks the cookies with spider web and bat disguises. Use extra icing to give the bats staring eyes and to make chubby spiders.

Steps:
- Sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder together into a large bowl; set aside.
- Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium-high speed until fluffy. Beat in ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Beat in eggs and molasses. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture.
- Divide dough into 3 equal pieces, and flatten into disks. Wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet, refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Use bat and cobweb cookie cutters to create shapes. Transfer to baking sheets, and refrigerate 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining disks.
- Bake cookies until crisp but not darkened, rotating sheets halfway through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks, let cookies cool completely before decorating with Royal Icing.
- Using desired base color (black for bats, white for cobwebs) and a pastry bag fitted with a very small plain round tip (such as #3), pipe icing on each cookie to form an outline. Fill in with more icing, and smooth with an offset spatula. Embellish before icing dries.
- Bats: Using colored icing, pipe three lines in an arc on the still-wet icing base. For each wing: Drag a wooden skewer across the width in alternating directions. Add eyes after icing has dried.
- Cobwebs: Pipe a spiral of black icing on the still-wet icing base. Pipe decorative dots on points of cookie. Using a wooden skewer, draw lines from the center outward, connecting the center of the web and the decorative dots. Add spiders to webs after icing has dried.

Steps:
- Beat all ingredients except powdered sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Pour batter into plastic squeeze bottle with narrow opening. Heat 8-inch skillet over medium heat until hot; grease lightly.
- Working quickly, squeeze batter to form 4 straight, thin lines that intersect at a common center point to form a star shape. To form cobweb, squeeze thin streams of batter to connect lines.
- Cook 30 to 60 seconds or until bottom is golden brown; carefully turn. Cook until golden brown; remove from skillet. Cool on wire rack.
- Heat oven to 325°F. Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet 5 to 7 minutes or until almost crisp (cookies will become crisp as they cool). Remove from cookie sheet; cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store cookies in container with loose-fitting cover.

Tips:
- Prep your Ingredients: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready to use. Room temperature butter is crucial for this recipe.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps prevent spreading while baking and keeps the bat shapes intact.
- Roll the Dough Thin: Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness for crispy cookies. Thicker dough may result in soft cookies.
- Use Cookie Cutters: Use bat-shaped cookie cutters to create the classic Halloween shape. If you don't have bat-shaped cutters, use other Halloween-themed shapes like pumpkins or ghosts.
- Decorate with Icing: Use white or black icing to decorate the bat cookies. You can also add sprinkles or edible glitter for a festive touch.
- Monitor Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies while baking. They should be golden brown around the edges and just set in the center.
Conclusion:
These delightfully spooky Bat and Cobweb Cookies are perfect for your Halloween festivities. Their crisp texture, sweet flavor, and Halloween-themed shapes will surely be a hit among kids and adults alike. Remember, chilling the dough, rolling it thin, and using cookie cutters are essential for achieving the perfect bat shapes. Decorate them with icing and sprinkles to add a personal touch. Enjoy these delicious cookies while celebrating the spooky season!
