"Mushrooms" are delicious, beautiful shortbread cookies that children like very much. Any children's party can be decorated with these magnificent pastries. And adults will not remain indifferent to such a treat.
It is necessary
- - margarine - 250 g;
- - sugar - 1 glass;
- - egg -1 pc.;
- - flour of the highest or first grade - 1 glass;
- - salt, soda - ½ teaspoon;
- - cocoa powder - 2-3 tablespoons.
Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly grind the margarine with sugar until smooth. Add the egg and continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Into this mass we introduce soda, having previously “extinguished” it with lemon juice or vinegar. Pour flour into the prepared mass and quickly knead the dough.
Step 2
Divide the finished dough into two parts. Add cocoa to one part and mix well.
Step 3
Small balls should be formed from the dark dough. With the fingers of both hands, we give the balls the shape of a mushroom cap, making a small depression inside.
Step 4
From light dough we form the legs of the fungi in such a way that one end is pointed and the other is blunt. Grease the thickened part of the leg with an egg, dip it in poppy seeds or in crumb from the same dough. Arrange the pieces of mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake.
Step 5
When the products have cooled down, you can start "assembling" the mushrooms. To do this, you need to carefully make grooves in the hats with a small knife. Again grease with an egg and insert the legs of the fungi there. In order for the hats and legs to be well fixed, you need to place the ready-made mushrooms in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
