• In a medium bowl stir together peanut butter, butter, sugars, egg and vanilla until combined
• Gradually add flour, baking soda and mix just until combined
Form the dough:
• Form the dough into a disc, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to shape, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats
• Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball, taper one side to resemble a mouse

• Add peanuts for ears, black candy for noses and for eyes.
Bake:
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden on the surface and golden on the edges

How to Store Peanut Butter Mice?
Let the cookies cool completely, then store them in an airtight container.
How Long do Peanut Butter Mice Last?

Can you Freeze Peanut Butter Mice?
If you want to freeze these, I recommend forming the dough balls and freezing those. Thaw in the fridge overnight, decorate then bake as directed. The dough can be frozen up to 2 months.
