Ingredients

  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookie Dough
  • 1 container (1 lb) vanilla creamy ready-to-spread frosting
  • Orange gel food color
  • Black string licorice
  • 32 green miniature candy-coated semisweet chocolate baking bits
  • 1 tube (0.68 oz) black decorating gel
  • 24 miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Make and cool cookies as directed.
  • 2
    Remove 1/2 cup of frosting; tint remaining frosting with orange gel food color. Frost 8 cookies with white frosting. Frost 8 cookies with orange frosting. Place remaining orange frosting in food-storage plastic bag, and cut small hole in 1 corner.
  • 3
    For bats, use white-frosted cookies. Place 1-inch spiral of string licorice in center of each cookie for body. Pipe wings on sides of body with orange frosting. For eyes, attach 2 green baking bits onto body of each with frosting; squeeze a dot of black decorating gel in middle of each eye. Place 2 miniature chocolate chips on each for ears.
  • 4
    For cats, use orange-frosted cookies. Unroll and separate string licorice; place pieces of string licorice on cookies to look like ears and whiskers. Attach 2 green baking bits to each for eyes and 1 miniature chocolate chip for nose.

  • There will be about 1/2 cup of leftover frosting; you can adjust the frosting to your own taste, or spread remaining frosting between graham crackers for an extra treat.
  • We prefer the more sturdy single string of black licorice instead of the softer pull-apart variety.
