To this day, cast iron molds for baking on gas remain unrivaled among many smart and high-tech gadgets. The recipes for them are simple, and the results are striking in taste and appearance.
For many housewives, somewhere in the bowels of the kitchen cabinet, a mold for brushwood made of batter mushrooms is gathering dust. A proven recipe and a detailed description of the baking process will help correct this oversight and pamper your homemade delicious pastries, so similar to real honey mushrooms.
Mushroom cookies cooked in the oven have two great advantages: they do not need special forms to bake them; children can be involved in the cooking process. They will enjoy not only the process of eating, but also creating mushrooms.
At first glance, these cookies are difficult to distinguish from real champignons, and such a delicious beauty is prepared without any adaptations. You only need a thin neck of a plastic bottle to shape the cookies.
During the Soviet era, biscuits with a filling, consisting of two halves, were very popular. Forms for such baking made it possible to make nuts, cones, shells and mushrooms.
Cookies "Mushrooms" are a dessert that has been familiar to us since childhood. But in order to prepare it, you should definitely purchase special molds. During the Soviet era, they were in almost every home. Although even now such equipment 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, you need to prepare a bivalve form with "mushrooms". You should not start such a dessert, since it is prepared in a holistic form, but it turns out to be very tasty and tender.
So, in order to knead the dough for cookies "Mushrooms", you need to purchase:
Before making whole cookies "Mushrooms" in a mold, you should mix well. For this, you need to beat the chicken eggs with a blender, and then add granulated sugar to them and wait until it is completely dissolved. In the meantime, put it in a bowl and melt it over low heat. After that, it needs to be cooled a little.
After the granulated sugar has melted, add margarine to the sweet egg mass, extinguish soda to them, and then add light flour. The wheat ingredient needs to be added until you get a uniform, soft and elastic base that won't stick to your fingers.
Cookies "Mushrooms" do not require a long formation. After all, they are already placed in relief molds. By the way, they should be thoroughly heated over a fire, having previously greased 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". After filling in all the grooves, the form must be closed, and the products must be cooked over low heat until they are browned.
After the cookies "Mushrooms" are well baked and take a stable shape, they should be removed from the recesses by vigorously shaking the dishes over the board or plate. After letting the products cool down a little, 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 shape. It looks like this: the dishes have two doors, in one of which there are recesses 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, cookies "Nuts" are very often made.
So, to make the presented treat, we need:
Half cookies "Mushrooms" are made in almost the same way as whole ones. To do this, grind chicken eggs with fine granulated sugar, and then add salt to them, pour in melted butter (pre-cooled) and add high-grade flour. This component must be taken in such an amount that your shortbread dough turns out to be soft, elastic and well sticky from the hands.
It is very easy to bake half "Mushrooms" (cookies), the recipe of which we are considering. To do this, the molds need to be thoroughly heated, and then greased with deodorized oil. Next, you should take a piece of the mixed base, roll an oval shape out of it and put it in the recess. Having closed 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.
It is possible to use "Mushrooms" (cookies), the recipe of which provides for the use of molds similar to nuts, in half. However, it is better to fill them with boiled condensed milk. Thus, a sweet product needs to fill the entire cavity of the cookie, and then mold the halves together. As a result, you should get a complete "mushroom" with a sweet filling. It is advisable to serve them to the table with hot and strong tea.
If you do not have molds for cooking "mushrooms" on the stove, then you can bake them in the oven. However, you need a regular plastic bottle to form these cookies.
So what ingredients are needed to make Mushroom cookies? A recipe with a photo of this dish requires the use of products such as:
To bake "Mushrooms" cookies in the oven, knead the shortbread dough. To do this, you need to soften the butter (butter) at room temperature, and then beat it together with granulated sugar and using a mixer. Next, sift high-grade wheat flour together with baking soda into a separate bowl. After that, the free-flowing mass must be gradually poured into the oily mixture and thoroughly mixed. 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 lid. We will describe how to use 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, you should take a plastic bottle and dip its neck well in brown powder. Now, having taken a portion of the dough, you need to press it into the container and carefully scroll, then remove it. You should have a beautiful mushroom. The rest of the cookies should be made in the same way.
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 the 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-prepared chocolate icing, and the legs can be sprinkled with powdered sugar. Such a delicacy should be served cold, along with unsweetened but hot tea or strong coffee.
To prepare these delicate cookies, you need special molds, since it has the shape of a shell, but if there are none, you can bake it in others.
At the very beginning, beat the eggs with the icing sugar. You can also use regular sugar, but using the powder will make the dough much softer. The resulting mass should have a light shade.
Sift flour and add eggs to it. Add flavor at this point. 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 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 in advance. Send the molds inside and wait about twenty minutes. Cookies should not crack.
The cookies are tender, aromatic and very tasty. It is suitable for a banquet, for breakfast, and as a dessert.

It makes no sense to describe the technology of baking cookies from recipe to recipe; it will be more appropriate to talk about it together with useful tips and secrets that will help avoid possible difficulties in the cooking process.
First, the pan must be well heated over the fire before laying the dough and be sure to grease. This is done only before the first batch of cookies, then they will easily fall behind the form. For lubrication, you can use cooking oil, butter, margarine, or unscented sunflower oil.
The amount of dough placed in 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 need about 2 tablespoons of dough.
The gas pan 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 handles of the mold must be kept closed, otherwise the dough will raise the top flap, and the baked goods will not bake well.
The duration of the transition of baking from the dough stage to the finished biscuit stage, even for the same form, may be different for each housewife (from a few seconds to 5-7 minutes). It depends on many factors, so you will have to set this time yourself by opening the pan flaps and observing the color of the cookies.
