Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter or margarine

  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 eggs
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1-2 cups flour
  • white icing
  • candy eyes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a mixer, beat together butter, oil, sugar, vanilla, and egg.
  • Add cornstarch, cocoa, and 1 1/2 cups flour. Mix together until dough scrapes itself from the sides. Add flour in 1/4 cup increments to get desired consistency.
  • Roll dough out to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Cut dough using bat cookie cutter and lay dough on a lined or greased baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before decorating.
