The Ingredients

For the cookie base:

• 1 cup of butter, softened
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

For the decorations:

• 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup of white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup of red and green M&Ms
• 1/4 cup of sliced almond flakes
• Red and green food coloring

The Recipe

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
4. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each ball to create the body of the mouse.
6. Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
7. Once the cookies have cooled, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and use it to fill the indentations on the cookies for the mouse's body.
8. Melt the white chocolate chips and use it to create the mouse's face and ears. Add a drop of red and green food coloring to create a festive touch.
9. Use the M&Ms as the eyes and the sliced almond flakes as the ears. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before serving.
