Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup peanut halves
- chopped red or green candied cherries or cinnamon red hots
- 60 3-inch pieces red or black shoestring licorice
Preparation:
Beat butter and peanut butter in a large bowl with electric mixer until creamy. Add sugars and beat until fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and baking soda until well blended. Beat flour in slowly until blended. Cover and chill dough for about 1 hour until firm enough to handle.Heat oven to 350°.
Shape
level tablespoons of dough into 1-inch balls. Taper each ball by
one end into tear drop shape. Press one side flat. Place flat
sides down 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press in sides
of balls to raise backs of mice. The dough spreads slightly as it
bakes. Gently push 2 peanut halves in head of each for ears and 2 pieces
of green or red candy for eyes. With a wooden pick make a 1/2-inch deep hole at tail end. Bake 8-10 minutes until firm. Remove to rack,
insert licorice tails and cool completely.
Makes about 60 mice.
