Running grep and other cygwin commands from cmd.exe

I hope I am asking this correctly. I would like to be able to open a regular cmd.exe (Windows shell) window and run cygwin commands from there without opening bash in it's own command window. Can this be done? Basically, I want to use .cmd and .bat scripts that use grep within scripts that run i
