Farm Mouse Cookies
Eeeek! The whimsical mice I made evoked shrieks of delight from the kids at our party. Peanut-half "ears" and licorice "tails" transformed these peanut butter cookies into country critters. — Kay Curtis, Guthrie, Oklahoma

This is a good recipe for a peanut butter cookie. There is more peanut butter taste in this recipe than other more common PB cookies. Instead of making mice, I made cats. I rolled the dough into balls and then pinched two triangles for ears and flattened. I added mini chocolate chips for noses and regular chocolate chips for eyes. You can also try rolling the balls in sugar. Very fun to make and great taste!
