Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • cups Butter room temperature
  • 3 cups Sugar
  • 2 tbsp. Greek Yogurt
  • tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • tsp. Almond Extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • cups Flour
  • tsp. Baking Soda
  • tsp. Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp. Salt

Other Supplies:

  • Cake Boss Bat Fondant/Cookie Cutter Press
  • Wilton White Vanilla Fondant
  • Wilton Black Icing Color
  • Wilton Blood Red Sparkle Gel

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together for a few minutes at medium speed using paddle.
  • Add Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond extract to butter and sugar mixture in mixer (you can use a hand mixer, but I recommend the Cuisinart mixer). Cream together for 1 to 2 minutes at medium speed.
  • Add eggs to mixture and beat together for about 3 minutes.
  • Combine dry ingredients in medium mixing bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Slowly add dry mixture to mixer on low speed until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Scoop mixture into medium mixing bowl. Seal and place in refrigerator overnight.
  • Remove from refrigerator. Scoop out one fist-sized ball at a time and place onto parchment paper. Knead with hands. Sprinkle flour onto rolling pin and dough as needed to avoid sticking. Use rolling pin to flatten dough evenly.
  • Using the bat fondant/cookie cutter press, begin to cut each shape into the dough as many times as possible. Do NOT press down on spring button.
  • Place all of the bat cookies onto baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes per batch.
  • Remove from oven. Let cool for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Knead white fondant in hands for a few minutes. Add a few toothpick dabs of black icing color. Knead fondant with your hands until color is completely blended. Use fondant roller or regular rolling pin to flatten into a thin layer. Using the bat fondant/cookie cutter presses, begin to cut as many bats as possible from the fondant. Be sure to press down on the spring button when cutting each shape, this will create 3-dimensional detailing and indentations for your bats.
  • Using the blood red sparkle gel, fill the eye indentations with red dots. Add fondant bat cutouts to each cookie and press down gently to secure.
  • Serve and enjoy!
