Cream butter, sugar, eggs, almond and milk together until smooth. Stir in dry ingredients. Divide dough in half.
Add 6 oz. melted unsweetened chocolate (or ⅓ cup cocoa powder) and 4 tbls milk to half the dough.

Make a cylinder of light dough and wrap a thick rolled out sheet of the chocolate around it. Chill. Cut with string. Place 2 discs pressed together on a cookie sheet. Finish with a cashew nose and Hershey’s kisses or big chocolate chip eyes.

Bake at 375° for 8 minutes.

OR – Use basic shortbread dough – butter, powdered sugar and flour so they don’t spread at all.
