Peanut butter mice
American 20 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, peanut butter and sugar until creamy, then mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into 24 small balls and shape each into a teardrop for the mouse body. Place on the trays, spacing slightly apart.
- Gently press two almond slices into the pointed end of each to make ears. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a mini chocolate chip into each cookie for the eyes and a red M&M at the tip for the nose.
- Unravel the red liquorice and cut into 5cm strips. Place one at the back of each cookie to create the tail. Allow to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
