How to Make Black Cat Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, and flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar to prevent sticking.
- Use your fingers to pinch the top of each cookie to create cat ears.
- Use a fork to gently press two lines on each side of the cookie for whiskers.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, attach two candy corn pieces for eyes and a red hot cinnamon candy for a nose.
