How to Make Christmas Mice

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  7. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once the cookies are completely cool, decorate them to look like mice:
  11. Use chocolate chips for the eyes.
  12. Attach mini marshmallows to the back as tails.
  13. Use red M&Ms or melted candy melts for the noses.
  14. Add whiskers using black icing.
