CHRISTMAS EVE MICE COOKIES
These are cute! Takes about an hour to make alone but more fun to do with a friend.They might just be to cute to eat. This is a no bake recipe. Dip the cherries and put the cookie half next to it, then set both pieces down together add the kiss and press into the cream of the cookie filling. I got this from Taste of Home years ago. Its a family favorite. Lovely when added as that special touch to a plate of cookies. Santa like them too!

CHRISTMAS EVE MICE
These are the cutest things ever! I make them every year for parties and co-workers! They make cute favors and place settings. The only thing I do different is, I make the eyes green, the nose red, and make a red bow on top next to one ear. I use the decorator's writing gel for this, but be careful. That stuff never really dries...

Steps:
- 1. Carefully twist cookies apart; set aside the halves with cream filling. Save plain halves for another use. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Holding each cherry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate, then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss. Place on the cream filling of cookie, with cherry stem extending beyond cookie edge. *Place off center so you have room for the holly leaves and berries. For ears, place slivered almonds between the cherry and kiss. Refrigerate until set. With green gel, pipe holly leaves on the cream. With a toothpick, drag out just a teensy bit here and there to make the pointed-edge of the leaves. With red gel, pipe holly berries between leaves and pipe green eyes on each chocolate kiss. (They look cutest if the eyes are fairly close together and not too small.) Make a dot on the nose with the red. And make a "bow" up by one ear by piping one small dot and 2 large dots on each side with red. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose the right cookie cutter: For the best results, use a cookie cutter that is about 2 inches in size. This will ensure that the cookies are the perfect size for mice.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies to hold their shape better.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
- Decorate the cookies with your favorite toppings: After the cookies have cooled, you can decorate them with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, icing, or candy.
Conclusion:
These Christmas Eve mice cookies are a fun and festive treat that is perfect for the holidays. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. Whether you are making them with your family or giving them as gifts, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
