Ingredients

    • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
    • 2 each eggs
    • 2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
    • 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
    • 1 container (16 ounces) chocolate frosting (or your own homemade if you wish)
    • 1 each McCormick® Black Food Color
    • 1 each Assorted decorations, such as black string licorice, black jelly beans, chocolate wafer cookies, miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces and gum drops

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Set aside. Beat sugar and butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed. Add chocolate; mix well. 


Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out rounds with 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. 


Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are set. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely. 


Tint frosting black with 1/2 teaspoon black food color. Spread onto cooled cookies. To decorate cookies to resemble cat faces, use miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces for the eyes, jelly beans for the nose, gum drops for the mouth, string licorice for the whiskers and cut-up chocolate wafers for the ears.

    We used yellow crookneck squash for our Summer Squash and Gruyere Frittata but zucchini or any summer squash will work. This will serve 4 people with a nice side of fresh fruit. We made it for two of us and we still have half for leftovers.
