Steps:
- Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg, yolk, chocolate, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out 36 rounds with a 2-inch cutter, and space 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Using an aspic cutter set, cut a triangle, point side up, in the center of half the cookies, and then use the half-moon cutter to make one "wing" on each side of the triangle. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375. Bake until set, 7 to 9 minutes. Let cool. Top each uncut cookie with 1 teaspoon dulce de leche and a cutout cookie.

Tips for Making Bite the Bat Cookies
- Choose the right chocolate: Use a high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao. This will give the cookies a rich, fudgy flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature helps them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are set and the edges are starting to brown.
Conclusion
Bite the Bat cookies are a delicious and festive Halloween treat. They're easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With these tips, you can make perfect Bite the Bat cookies every time. Happy Halloween!
