Roll into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Gently pinch each ball at one end to taper. Insert two peanut halves in center of each ball for ears. Add one M&M baking bit at tapered end for nose and two chocolate chips for eyes.
Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Gently insert one licorice piece into each warm cookie for tail. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
