Directions
  • Carefully twist cookies apart; set aside the halves with cream filling. (Save the plain halves for another use.)
  • In a microwave, melt the chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth.
  • Holding each cherry by the stem, dip in the melted chocolate, and then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss. Place sideways on the cream filling of the cookie, with the cherry stem extending beyond cookie edge.
  • For ears, place slivered almonds between the cherry and kiss.
  • Refrigerate until set.
  • With green icing gel, pipe holly leaves onto the cream of the cookie.
  • With red icing gel, pipe holly berries between the leaves, and pipe eyes on each chocolate kiss.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
