Instructions: Beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; add egg, and extracts, beating until blended. Gradually add flour, beating well. Cover and chill 1 hour.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls; taper 1 end of each ball to form a teardrop shape. Press 1 side flat; place flat sides on lightly greased baking sheets. Place peanut halves in dough for ears. Place raisins in dough for eyes and red cinnamon candies for noses. Make a 1/2-inch-deep hole at tail end with a wooden pick.

Bake at 325 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Insert licorice pieces for tails.

This recipe yields 4 dozen.
