This are my traditional treats; I make them every year and it never ceases to impress people. They are easy to make and kids love putting the eyes, nose, and whiskers on the kitty 9while eating them). You can also find the recipe on allrecipes.com; I got it from my Halloween magazine which I call my second Bible. LOL I also made the clay pot and they turned out great. All you need for that is yellow, orange, and white paint. You also need a rubber band to make sure you are painting it even and straight. You could also use just yellow and white paint and leave the actual color of the pot as the orange; you get a nicer orange with paint though.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 wooden craft sticks (You don't have to use the sticks on all of them)
48 pieces candy corn
24 red-hot candies ( you could use other candies too or miniature M&M if you want)
DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Roll dough into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place 3 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
Insert a wooden stick into each cookie. Flatten with a glass dipped in sugar. Pinch top of cookie to form ears. For whiskers, press a fork twice into each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set. Remove from the oven; immediately press on candy corn for eyes and red-hots for noses. Remove to wire racks to cool.
