3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, margarine and shortening until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in the flour, cocoa and baking powder; mix well. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. To form a mouse, pinch one end of the ball to form the nose. For the ears, make 2 tiny balls of dough and flatten slightly; gently press into the dough on the upper front of each mouse body. For the eyes, press 2 miniature chocolate chips into the dough below the ears. Place the shaped cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 13 minutes, or until set. For the tails, immediately place a piece of licorice into the rounded end of each cookie. Remove from the cookie sheets.

A great treat for the holiday season, Chocolat Christmas Mice.
Make these with your kids or grandkids, take them to your Christmas party or other events, they will be the talk of the dessert table.
All you'll need to make these little critters are:
-Oreo cookies (to be separated like you did when you were a kid)(no licking)
-Hersey kisses (as many as you need for the number of mice you make)
-Maraschino cherries 'with' stems
-A small tube of white decorating gel
-12oz bag of chocolate chips
Directions:
-Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil
-Separate cookies place each half on the cookie sheet
-Rinse and dry cherries
-Melt chocolate (I used a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave using a microwave-safe bowl)
-Dip cherries one at a time
-Place dipped cherry on one of the cookie halves
-Connect a Hersey kiss to the dipped cherry (do this before the chocolate sets) Continue till kisses are on all dipped cherries (the mouse body)
-Before chocolate sets insert two almond slices between the head and body, this will be the ears.
-Place in refrigerator or freezer for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate has set.
-Use the white gel to make the eyes (they do not have to be perfect, as a matter of fact, they should 'not' be perfect. :)
