Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a couple of cookie sheets with Release foil or parchment.
Cream butter and sugar with mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir into butter mixture. Shape dough into 1 ½ inch balls and place 3 inches apart on cookie sheets. Insert sticks.
Press down with bottom of sugared glass (I used my hand) to make a circle. Use fork tines to make whiskers. Pinch tops to make ears. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately decorate as pictured with candy corn. Use red candy for nose. Cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
Makes 24.
***My notes: I used 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup unbleached AP flour. I also used organic sugar. I used my small cookie scoop and came out with 36 cats and 16 cookies= 52. I guess it just depends on how big you make them. They are crispy yet chewy...very good!
