Last year I made my bats with sugar cookie dough and while they are amazing, it dawned on me that bats should be made with chocolate. I found this perfect recipe at Baked by Rachel. It’s very easy to assemble and unlike some sugar cookie doughs, it rolls out without sticking. Aside from bats, these are perfect for any time of year, and probably will resurrect at Valentine’s Day. In this case, they make great squirrels and bats. If you’re looking to make ghosts, head over here for my favorite sugar cookie recipe.
