From Pillsbury.com. I made these a few years ago for a cookie exchange and they were a hit! They take a little time to make but they are so adorable!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
powdered sugar
1 tablespoon miniature chocolate chip (96, or mini M &M's)
48 red cinnamon candies (or mini M & M's)

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine sugar and butter; beat until light and fluffy. Add flour and cinnamon; blend well. Cover dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour for easier handling.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. For each cookie, shape dough into 1 inch ball; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly. Shape dough into 3 (1/4 inch) balls. Place 2 of the balls above and touching larger ball for ears and 1 ball on top to resemble snout. Flatten slightly.
  • Bake for 11 to 15 minutes or until firm to the touch. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Lightly sprinkle cookies with powdered sugar. Press 2 chocolate chips into each cookie for eyes and 1 cinnamon candy for nose.
