Chocolate Mouse Cookies
2/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
Cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs and remaining ingredients. Mix well. Chill 1/2 to 1 hr.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Shape into mice and pinch one end together to form nose. Use shaved almonds for ears, mini chocolate chips for eyes and red licorice for tail.
Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 min.
I also shape this dough into Teddy Bears using 2 balls for body and two tiny balls for ears, hands and legs.
Poke a hole in the top to put a ribbon through after they cool.
