• Preparation Time: Over 1 hour, less than 1 day

Ingredients

• 1 package (8-ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
• orange and black nonpareils
• bat shaped cookie cutter
• Drinking straw

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Knead cocoa powder into dough; knead flour into the dough. Roll dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using the bat shaped cookie cutter cut out bat shapes. Using the drinking straw, insert at the top of the bat shapes for the eyes. Place cutouts on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until firm, 12-15 minutes; let cool completely.
2. Line a 15 x 11 inch baking sheet with foil. Using a small offset spatula and working quickly, apply about 1/2 cup softened ice cream to half the cookies. Quickly place remaining cookies, flat side down, onto ice-cream topped cookies. Place batwitches on prepared baking sheet and cover pan loosely with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
3. Roll the edges of the frozen batwitches in the orange and black nonpareils, gently pressing so they adhere. Shake off excess. Serve immediately or wrap securely in plastic wrap and return to freezer. Enjoy! Makes about 1 dozen. Makes about 1 dozen.
