It's time to fire up the oven and bake some Christmas cookies! I have a thing for cookies that look like cute little animals so when I saw Martha Stewart's mice cookies I knew I had to bake them. I should have known better.

I mean really - I'm no Martha Stewart. And when she says these cookies are fun to make with kids, she must mean kids who have been training as pastry chefs from the time they were 6 months old. Martha Stewart's mice cookies were beyond both my daughter and me.

Martha says in the video that it doesn't matter what your mice look like because they all have personality. Yeah, mine have the personality of terrifying zombie mice.

Oh, and that's a side-by-side comparison of Martha's and my mice up there. Can you tell which is which?
