Christmas Eve Mice Cookies image

These are cute! Takes about an hour to make alone but more fun to do with a friend.They might just be to cute to eat. This is a no bake recipe. Dip the cherries and put the cookie half next to it, then set both pieces down together add the kiss and press into the cream of the cookie filling. I got this from Taste of Home years ago. Its a family favorite. Lovely when added as that special touch to a plate of cookies. Santa like them too!
