INSTRUCTIONS:
- Print the template and cut out the lead shape. You can find it here.
- Knead green food coloring into the dough.
- Working on a flour-dusted sheet of wax paper, roll out the plain dough 1/4 inch thick. Use the template and a kitchen knife to cut holly lead shapes from the dough. Then use the knife to score a center vein in each leaf.
- Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet and bake them according to the recipe directions. Allow the baked cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make a glaze by mixing 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar and 2 to 3 tsp of water in a small bowl. Brush a little glaze on the center of each cookie leaf and sprinkle on a pinch of green colored sugar.
- Add a holly berry Mickey to the base of each lead by using decorating icing to stick on a red-shelled chocolate candy topped by a pair of smaller red-shelled chocolate candies.
