Bat and Moon Cookies for Halloween
I promised you a full moon today so here it is and I’m almost embarrassed to show you how to make it because it is so simple. I guess all bat and moon cookies go together so here is the tutorial.
Supplies for Bat and Moon Cookies:

- Bat tutorial is HERE
- Light Gray 15 Second Icing
- Darker Gray 15 Second Icing
- BooBoo Stick
- Begin by making your cookie dough and here’s my sugar cookie recipe in case you’re looking for one to try.
- Do you need a royal icing recipe? or a half a batch of icing recipes or would you like to see how to bake a cookie on a stick?
Once your cookie is baked and ready to decorate, outline it with the light gray icing and then flood it.
Time to add a little character to your moon:
- While the light gray icing is still wet, apply the darker gray icing randomly on the cookie leaving gaps of the light icing showing. As you can see, I added a little more gray in one spot so it would look like the picture of the real moon I was looking at.
- Next, grab the Boo Boo Stick and start swirling the icing around. Be careful not to swirl too much or you will lose the moon cloud effect. If you don’t have a Boo Boo Stick, you can use the tip of a butter knife or an offset spatula.
- I wasn’t super concerned about the icing being perfectly smooth because the moon has creators and this was one time that creators will work for cookies.
- Now it’s time to add the paper straws so your bat and moon cookies will look adorable. Bakers Stock has a ton of cute paper straws and they are perfect for projects like this. I mean, who wants to look at a cookie stick when you can make it look so much better. I told you these cookies was super simple and I can’t wait to make more.
