Mice Cookies

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!  Santa Claus will love these cute little mouse cookies on Christmas Eve.  The kiddos will go nuts for them too.  Super easy to make, with very little cooking!

4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate 1/3 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
1/3 cup sour cream 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs

24 silver dragees decorating candy
  1/4 cup sliced almonds
 

12 (2 inch) pieces long red vine licorice

 
  1. Melt the chocolate, and combine with sour cream. Stir in 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
  2. Roll by level tablespoonfuls into balls. Mold to a slight point at one end (the nose).
  3. Roll dough in confectioners sugar (for white mice), and in chocolate cookie crumbs (for dark mice). On each mouse, place dragees in appropriate spot for eyes, almond slices for ears, and a licorice string for the tail.
