24 double-stuffed cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening
24 red maraschino cherries with stems, well drained
24 milk chocolate kisses
48 sliced almonds
1 small tube green decorative icing gel
1 small tube red decorative icing gel
Carefully twist cookies apart; set aside the halves with cream filling. Save plain
halves for another use. In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips
and shortening; stir until smooth. Holding each cherry by the stem, dip in melted
chocolate, then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss. Place on the cream
filling of cookie, with cherry stem extending beyond cookie edge. For ears,
place slivered almonds between the cherry and kiss. Refrigerate until set. With
green gel, pipe holly leaves on the cream. With red gel, pipe holly berries
between leaves and pipe eyes on each chocolate kiss. Store in an airtight
container at room temperature.
