Mine isn't a cookie. It's a Christmas mouse made from Marachino cherries. I use them to decorate the cookie (or fudge) tray.
Marachino cherries with stems
Semisweet chocolate chips
Slivered almonds (for the ears)
Hershey's kisses (unwrapped)
Cinnamon candies (for eyes)
So, you melt the chocolate in the microwave (just use half a twelve ounce bag, at first). Then, dip the cherry into the chocolate to make the mouse "body". The cherry's stem will become the mouse's tail. Glue the body to the Hershey's Kiss "head". (The pointed part of the Hershey's Kiss becomes the mouse's nose.) Use one slivered almond on each side of the head to make the mouse's ears. Use a little melted chocolate to glue the cinnamon eyes on. Refrigerate in covered tupperware container until you are ready to deliver your cookies. When you are ready, scatter a few mice on each tray. They look so darn cute with their little tails sticking out and those beady red cinnamon eyes!
So, which is your favorite Christmas cookie recipe?
