For fondant:
The products have been prepared. It can be seen from the list of ingredients that the delicacy should turn out not only tasty, but also beautiful in chocolate icing. We will cook mushroom cookies in a gas mold, for this we need a special baking dish. So, let's begin.
As a result, we got very tasty and beautiful mushrooms in chocolate fudge. The kids will be just delighted, as we once enjoyed this delicious delicacy. The recipe for mushroom cookies turned out to be very simple, and cooking does not take much time. The process is addictive, and the time spent just flies by unnoticed, and grateful words and praise from loved ones who will try the treat will inspire you to a new culinary creation.

Some housewives cover the mushroom cap not with chocolate, but with caramel. It turns out no less tasty. You can try this option as well or add something of your own, branded in addition to cookies. Prepare delicious desserts, pamper your loved ones and yourself.
Cookies "Mushrooms" is a dessert that has been familiar to us since childhood. But in order to cook it, you should definitely purchase special molds. In Soviet times, they were in almost every home. Although now such inventory can be found in hardware stores.
You can prepare such a dessert in different ways and using different forms. Today we will present you with several options. For one of them, it is required to prepare a double-leaf form with "mushrooms". You should not start such a dessert, as it is prepared in its entirety, but it turns out to be very tasty and tender.
So, to knead the dough for cookies "Mushrooms", you need to purchase:
Before making whole "Mushrooms" cookies in a mold, you should knead well. To do this, you need to beat the chicken eggs with a blender, and then add sugar to them and wait for it to dissolve completely. In the meantime, you need to put it in a bowl and melt it over low heat. After that, it needs to cool down a bit.
After the granulated sugar has melted, margarine should be poured into the sweet egg mass, soda should be extinguished to them, and then light flour should be added. The wheat ingredient needs to be added until you get a uniform soft and elastic base that does not stick to your fingers.
Cookies "Mushrooms" do not require a long formation. After all, they are already placed in embossed molds. By the way, they should be carefully heated on fire, previously lubricated with deodorized oil. After that, you need to pinch off a piece of dough, roll it into an oval and put it in a "mushroom". Having filled all the recesses, the form needs to be closed, and the products are cooked over low heat until they are browned.
After the “Mushrooms” cookies are well baked and take a stable shape, they should be removed from the recesses by shaking the dishes vigorously over the board or plate. After letting the products cool down a bit, they can be safely presented to the table along with tea.
If anyone remembers, then the presented delicacy can be made not only in its entirety, but also in half. However, this will require a different form. It looks like this: the dish has two flaps, in one of which there are notches in the form of mushrooms, and in the other there are bulges that make a cavity in the product where the filling can be placed. By the way, with the help of a similar mold, “Nuts” cookies are very often made.
So, to make the presented delicacy, we need:
Half cookies "Mushrooms" are made in almost the same way as whole ones. To do this, grind chicken eggs with fine sugar, and then add salt to them, pour in melted butter (pre-chilled) and add high-grade flour. This component must be taken in such an amount that your shortcrust pastry is soft, elastic and sticks well from your hands.
Baking half "Mushrooms" (cookies), the recipe of which we are considering, is very easy. To do this, the molds need to be warmed up well, and then lubricated with deodorized oil. Next, you should take a piece of the mixed base, roll it into an oval shape and put it in the recess. Covering the doors tightly, the products must be baked over low heat until they turn red.
After the "mushrooms" are baked, they must be removed and completely cooled.
You can use "Mushrooms" (cookies), the recipe of which involves the use of molds similar to nuts, can be half-baked. However, it is better to fill them with boiled condensed milk. Thus, it is required to fill the entire cavity of the cookie with a sweet product, and then blind the halves together. As a result, you should get a whole "mushroom" with a sweet filling. It is desirable to serve them to the table along with hot and strong tea.
If you do not have molds for making "mushrooms" on the stove, then you can bake them in the oven. However, to form such cookies, you will need a regular plastic bottle.
So, what are the ingredients needed to make Mushroom Cookies? The recipe with a photo of this dish requires the use of products such as:
To bake cookies "Mushrooms" in the oven, knead the shortbread dough. To do this, soften the butter (butter) at room temperature, and then beat it together with granulated sugar and using a mixer. Next, in a separate bowl, you need to sift high-grade wheat flour along with table soda. After that, the bulk mass must be gradually poured into the oily mixture and mix everything thoroughly. As a result, you should get an elastic and rather soft dough that does not stick to your fingers.
As mentioned above, to form such products, we need a plastic bottle without a cap. We will discuss how to apply it below.
So, from the mixed base, small balls with a diameter of 4 centimeters should be formed. After that, they need to be laid out on a surface sprinkled with light flour. It is also necessary to pour cocoa into a deep bowl. Next, take a plastic bottle and dip its neck well in brown powder. Now, taking a portion of the dough, you need to press it into the container and gently scroll, then remove it. You should form a beautiful "mushroom". Do the same for the rest of the cookies.
After preparing all the products, they should be laid out on a baking sheet with baking paper, and then sent to a preheated oven. It is recommended to bake dessert at a temperature of 185 degrees for about 20-26 minutes.
After all the "mushrooms" are baked, they must be removed from the sheet and placed on a plate. If desired, the hats of the products can be dipped in self-made chocolate icing, and the legs can be sprinkled with powdered sugar. Such a delicacy should be served at the table in a cooled state, along with unsweetened, but hot tea or strong coffee.
With the advent of silicone baking molds, more and more housewives are abandoning metal utensils. The advantages of silicone are obvious: it does not need to be lubricated with oil before baking, baking is easily removed from such forms. But they, nevertheless, have one drawback - you can’t bake delicious cookies on gas in a silicone mold.

Cooking such cookies in the form of gas:
It makes no sense to describe the technology of baking cookies from recipe to recipe, it would be more appropriate to talk about it along with useful tips and secrets that will help you avoid possible difficulties in the cooking process.
First, the pan shape must be well heated over the fire before laying the dough and be sure to grease it. This is done only before the first batch of cookies, then they will easily fall behind the mold. For lubrication, you can use cooking oil, butter, margarine or odorless sunflower oil.
The amount of dough put into the form will need to be adjusted independently so that it does not flow out of it and so that it fills the entire form. On average, one serving (depending on the embossing pattern) will require about 2 tablespoons of dough.
The pan on gas will need to be turned over so that the cookies in the form are baked on both sides and get a beautiful golden hue. During baking, the mold handles must be kept closed, otherwise the dough will lift the top flap, and the pastries will not bake well.
The duration of the transition of baking from the stage of dough to the stage of ready-made cookies, even for the same form, can be different for each housewife (from several seconds to 5-7 minutes). It depends on many factors, so you will have to set this time yourself by opening the pan doors and observing the color of the cookies.
To prepare this delicate cookie, you need special molds, as it has the shape of a shell, but if there are none, you can bake in others.
At the very beginning, beat the eggs, adding powdered sugar to them. You can also use regular sugar, but using powdered sugar will make the dough much softer. The resulting mass should have a light shade.
Sift flour and add eggs to it. At this point, add flavoring. Vanilla will be used here, but you can use any other if you like. Namely, caramel liqueur, lemon juice and zest, rum tincture. You choose it according to your taste.
Melt the butter and add to the dough. Mix the resulting mass, achieving a homogeneous state.
The dough will be thin. Pour it into prepared molds.
Preheat the oven to one hundred and eighty degrees. Send the molds inside and wait about twenty minutes. The cookies should not crack.
The cookies are tender, fragrant and very tasty. It is suitable for a banquet, and for breakfast, and as a dessert.
MUSHROOMS DIFFERENT FROM THE FORM OR BAKING ALL SEPARATELY
"White Mushrooms" and "Amanitas"
Ingredients:
For test:
200 g butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 cup starch
About 800 g flour until the desired dough consistency is obtained
Vanilla or vanillin or vanilla sugar to taste
A pinch of salt
1/2 tsp soda, quenched 1 tsp. 9% vinegar
For syrup:
2/3 cup sugar + 4 tbsp. spoons of water
For paint:
For porcini mushrooms - 1-2 tbsp. l. cocoa
For fly agarics - 1/2 cup cranberries and 1/4 cup sugar
Cooking
DOUGH
Cream butter softened at room temperature with sugar until white.
Add the rest of the ingredients and knead a soft plastic dough.
We divide the dough into 2 equal parts - for hats and for legs.
HATS
From one part make 100 slightly flattened balls. These will be mushroom caps.
Bake them on an ungreased baking sheet.
In the still warm (!) Baked hats in the center of the flat side, make indentations with a knife with a sharp tip - the legs will be glued into them. (Cooling down, the products become brittle.)
Prepare 100 squares of baking paper with a side of 6-7 cm in advance.
While the hats are baking, roll up the legs from the second part of the dough: one side is wider, the other narrower - like mushrooms.
Put the legs in paper bags, put on a baking sheet and bake. The bag will not allow the thin end of the leg to spread, and the entire leg, slightly increasing during baking, will not lose its correct tapering shape.
Remove the baked legs from the bags.
SYRUP FOR GLUING
To prepare the syrup, boil 2/3 cup sugar with 4 tbsp. l. water.
WHITE MUSHROOMS
We dip the thin ends of the legs of porcini mushrooms in warm syrup, combine them with hats and carefully lay them out to dry.
After drying, we imitate the “ground” on legs with poppy seeds. To do this, dip the legs of mushrooms in syrup, then in a container with poppy seeds. We leave the syrup to dry and the “earth” is well fixed.
Amanita
Lubricate the legs and lower part of the fly agaric caps with egg white, beaten with powdered sugar.
Dip the ends of the legs in poppy seeds and let dry.
Then glue the legs and hats with the remaining protein whipped with sugar. Let's dry.

Coloring caps of porcini mushrooms.
Add a little water and 1-2 tbsp to the rest of the cooled syrup. l. cocoa and boil again.
Dip the mushroom caps into the resulting fondant.
Fly agaric hat coloring
Red paint for fly agaric hats: Mash 1/2 cup of cranberries, boil for 3-5 minutes with 1/4 cup of sugar and strain hot through a strainer.
We color the hats by briefly dipping them in warm syrup. Let's dry. If desired, to obtain a thicker paint layer after 10 minutes, the coloring can be repeated.
We make white dots on the fly agaric hats with uncolored warm sugar syrup.
We give all the mushrooms to dry completely for 1-2 hours.
