Method

BROWNIE CUPCAKES

  1. Preheat oven and line a muffin tin with cupcake baking cups.
  2. In a food processor, combine melted butter and sugar for 2 minutes.
  3. Add all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips and mix for 30 seconds until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add in chocolate chips and gently mix in by hand before evenly distributing mixture in prepared baking cups. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean.
  5. Allow to cool before using a piping bag to decorate with your chosen frosting/butter cream. Set aside.

BAT COOKIES

  1. Preheat oven to 160 C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Add all ingredients to a high-speed food processor until a dough forms.
  3. Roll out on parchment paper until about 3 mm thick. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top to cover then transfer dough to the fridge, ensuring it is on a completely flat surface, to chill for 15 minutes.
  4. Once chilled, use bat cookie cutter to cut out the cookies before placing on baking tray and baking for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.
  5. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely
