I had never seen these little creatures before. The waitress in this charming Victorian restaurant brought one out to me when she found out it was my birthday. I find them so enchanting that I can't wait to give it a shot. Thanks for your implicit instructions...........I'll let you know how they turn out. Rhonda,

I wish I had had this and the meringue mice recipe when I got married 6 years ago. We didn't make the mice our theme but we did have some mice sitting around and watching the festivities ~ these would have been perfect to put on everyone's tables. I will definitely be making some and giving them away at christmas once we move back to my home state of OH (I moved to TX when we married). Thanks for taking the time to take pictures and share all this with us :) Merry Christmas Everyone !! And a safe and Happy New Year :) Rhonda ~ these are absolutely adorable !!

I found years ago that the almond ears are very easily broken when you try to cover your pretty cookie tray with plastic wrap. My solution was to make the ears from pink bubble gum. I use a sharp metal cookie cutter that has a small semi circle - mine just happens to be an angel's head. I stack up two strips of bubble gum tape and press through them with the cutter (kids could easily do this part). That way, I have a pair of ears together when I get ready to apply them to the head. The pink is colorful and the ears won't break. Really cute. If I skip a year and don't make them, I get lots of whining and complaints. These really are adorable.

The above post mentions putting them on Oreo cookies. I don't know where you might find triangle shortbread. ~~Rhonda Iris, when I make them, I don’t put them on anything.

However, I untwist an Orea Cookie and make the mice on the cookie base with Oreo filling still on it. The mice look like they are sitting on snow and it gives them a good base so that they are not as delicate to handle. I also take red and green icing gel and put a little holly and berry design on the "white snow". I make these every year too.
