Making the Dough

Mix and Chill
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg, almond extract, and a few drops of your desired food coloring. Slowly mix in the flour and salt until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Shaping the Mice
Once the dough has chilled, it's time to shape the mice. Take small pieces of dough and roll them into balls, about the size of a cherry. Then, use your thumb to create an indentation in the center of each ball. Place the dough balls on a lined baking sheet and use a toothpick to create small holes for the eyes and nose.
Baking and Decorating
Baking Time
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the mice for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Once the mice have cooled, it's time to add the finishing touches. Melt some chocolate chips in the microwave and use a toothpick to dot the chocolate onto the mice for eyes and a nose. You can also use sliced almonds for ears and a tail. Get creative with your decorations and have fun with it!
