Black Mushroom Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F. Cream the sugar with butter using a small egg whisk, then add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk again. Add the corn starch now, mixing with your hands. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, knead. Let stand for 5 minutes. Make chestnut sized balls with your hands. Put parchment paper on a cookie sheet and arrange the dough balls on it. Place cocoa in a small bowl and pour 1 tablespoon water in another small bowl. Wash and dry a glass soda bottle. Soak the rim of the bottle into the water, then dust it with cocoa. Press the rim of the bottle into each dough ball, making a stem. Wipe the rim of the bottle with tissue paper every 3-4 times. Bake for 25 minutes. Arrange them on a wire rack and allow them to cool.

Steps:

• Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and chop.
• Sautee the onion, garlic and chopped mushroom stalks in olive oil until the onion is soft, then remove from the heat.
• Mix the breadcrumbs, parsley, herbs and cheese together.
• Add the wine and melted butter to the saucepan, then add the dry ingredients.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Lay the mushrooms on a greased baking sheet and mould a large spoonful of the mixture into each one.
• Bake at 180C/350F for 20 mins, until the stuffing starts to turn golden.
• Serve on a crouton of fried bread (ideal for not wasting the delicious juices), or on a bed of mixed leaves (rocket works well), or both.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375.
• Cream the butter and sugar.
• Add eggs and beat well.
• Add in the rest of the ingredients except for cocoa. Mix well by hand and knead. The dough will be quite soft.
• Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
• Place cocoa in a small bowl and pour 1 tbsp water in another small bowl. Soak the rim of a bottle cap in the water, then dust it with cocoa. Press the rim of the bottle cap lightly on the dough. You'll need to wipe the rim of the bottle with a tissue occasionally.
• Bake for about 18 minutes. Don't let them turn a golden brown or they will lose the melt-in-your-mouth character!
• Arrange them on the wire rack until they cool down.
