Mexican Mice Recipe

Mexican Mice Recipe

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup finely ground pecans
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Chow mein noodles
  • Mini-chocolate chips
  • Sliced almonds
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter and vanilla in bowl of electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar; beat until combined. Mix in flour, pecans and salt.
  2. Shape dough into 1-inch ovals, tapering one end. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven; insert noodle at tail end and 2 almonds about 1/3 of the way from pointed end for ears. Return to oven; bake until slightly browned, about 12 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven; immediately place 2 chocolate chips in front of ears for eyes. (Chocolate will melt slightly and stick to cookie.) Dust mice bodies with confectioners’ sugar. Cool on wire rack.
