An oatmeal refrigerator cookie recipe proved 'purrfect' for cat cookies. Half of the dough is chocolate, which frames the playful faces. It was a game of cat and mouse to see what dessert plate would be emptied first!

Ingredients

½ cup butter or margarine, softened
¼ cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
½ cup Semisweet chocolate chips
1 (1.2 ounce) package Red-hot candies
1 (5 ounce) package Black shoestring licorice, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in oats. Divide dough in half. Add melted chocolate to one portion. Roll plain dough into an 8-in. log. Roll chocolate dough between waxed paper into an 8-in. square. Place log at one end of square; roll up. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place on ungreased baking sheets. To form ears, pinch two triangles on the top of each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately place two chocolate chips for eyes, a red-hot for the nose and six pieces of licorice on each for whiskers. Cool on wire racks.
