Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and nose)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract. Stir until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing well after each addition, until the dough comes together.
Scoop about one tablespoon of dough and roll it into an oval shape to resemble the body of a mouse. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Gently press two sliced almonds into the narrower end of the oval to form ears.
Add two mini chocolate chips for eyes and one for the nose by gently pressing them into the dough.
Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing each cookie about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms just start to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should remain pale.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a snowy, whimsical effect.
Serve and enjoy these delightful white mice cookies with family and friends!
