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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract. Stir until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing well after each addition, until the dough comes together.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Gently press two sliced almonds into the narrower end of the oval to form ears.
Step 7
Add two mini chocolate chips for eyes and one for the nose by gently pressing them into the dough.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing each cookie about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a snowy, whimsical effect.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy these delightful white mice cookies with family and friends!
