Ingredients

1 1/2 c almond meal
1/2 c powdered sugar
2 T Stonyfield Organic Greek Plain Nonfat Yogurt
Mini chocolate chips
Red licorice
Sliced almonds

directions

Step 1

Mix almond meal and powdered sugar together.

Step 2

Slowly add the yogurt one tablespoon at a time, until it becomes a dough. (If you are not using right away, wrap into wax paper and put in an airtight container or plastic bag and refrigerate up to a week. When using, bring to room temperature. )

Step 3

Pinch about a ½ tablespoon of dough. Shape into a ball. Pinch one end to make a roundish triangular shape. At the end of the triangle put a chocolate chip for the nose. On top put 2 chocolate chips on either side for the eyes and right on top 2 sliced almonds for the ears. On the end secure a piece of red licorice cut to make a tail.

Step 4

These little creatures can be eaten right away or saved up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge. You can use them on your holiday cookie platter or on cakes.
