Carefully twist cookies apart; set aside the halves with the cream filling. Save plain halves for another use. In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Holding each cherry by the stem, dip in melted chocolate, then press onto the bottom of a chocolate kiss. Place on the cream filling of the cookie, with cherry stem extended beyond the cookie edge. For ears, place slivered almonds between the cherry and the kiss. Refrigerate until set. With green gel, pipe holly leaves on the cream. With red gel pipe holly berries between leaves and pipe eyes onto each kiss. Store in an airtight container at room temp.
