[40cakes]

So my mom got some country cooking magazine/advertisement in the mail, and on the cover were these cute little mouse cookies. Now, I'm no Martha Stewart, but these were REALLY cute, and I decided I had to make them.

Everything started out alright...(yup, these were taken with new camera squeee!)


Aren't they cuuuute?

And then I baked them, JUST LIKE THE RECIPE TOLD ME TO, AND...



Tear.

But how did they taste?

I think it's too soon to tell [/serious doctor voice]

Well, I didn't make the peanut butter dough myself, because my mom happened to buy a tub of it from one of my cousin's school fundraising thingies, so I don't think they tasted as good as they would have had I made them from scratch. And the one I tried was fresh out of the oven, so taste was beaten down by "owowowhotflatmouse"

A culinary friend of mine says...

That the problem is the store bought dough. It doesn't have the right fat content and thus flattens out.

Made from scratch and used with either lard or real butter would most likely stay up.
