PEANUT BUTTER MICE Recipe

Cream butter and peanut butter. Add sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in baking soda and flour. Chill 1 hour covered, until firm enough to handle. Shape level tablespoon dough into balls. Taper each ball at one end into a teardrop shape. Press one side flat. Place flat side down 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Gently push 2 peanut halves in each for ears and 2 pieces of candy for eyes. Make a 1/2 inch deep hole at tail end with a wooden pick. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until firm. Remove to rack, insert licorice tails and cool completely.
