Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 24 units Whole almonds
- 48 units Mini chocolate chips
- 12 units Black licorice strings (thin)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and shape it into an oval to resemble a mouse’s body. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Press one whole almond into one end of the oval to create the mouse’s nose.
Press two mini chocolate chips into the dough for eyes.
Cut the black licorice strings into 3-inch pieces. Gently insert a piece into the back of each mouse to create the tail.
Repeat this process for the remaining dough to make about 24 mice.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are just starting to turn golden on the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your adorable Three Blind Mice Cookies!
