Chocolate Mushroom Cookies

Let's start with the preparation of nut dough for the legs. Sift the baking powder and wheat flour into a separate bowl, saturating the dry mixture with oxygen. Then add the chopped and fried walnuts in a dry pan.

In the bowl of the mixer, beat the eggs with sugar into a fluffy foam and add softened butter. Mix well again. Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the bowl and gradually knead a homogeneous dough. We form a ball from it and send it to the refrigerator in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to stabilize.

We prepare the dough for the hats, for this we mix wheat flour, powdered sugar and baking powder. In the bowl of the mixer, beat the egg with the yolk and softened butter. Add vanilla extract. We gradually introduce dry products into the mass and knead a smooth, but not sticky dough. We try not to add extra flour. Having formed it into a ball, we cool it for 30 minutes.

Turn on the oven for 180 C, cover the baking tray with paper or a silicone mat.

We divide the cooled nut dough into portions and form oblong sausages. You can roll a long sausage and cut it into separate pieces-legs 2-3 cm long.

Lay out the legs on a baking sheet with a distance of 2.5 cm from each other and bake for 10-15 minutes until a beautiful golden color. Cool the cookies on a sheet, and then remove.

Divide the dough for hats into small portions, roll each part into a ball and flatten it. We put the hats on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until the volume increases and a beautiful ruddy color. In hot hats, we remove part of the core with a small knife or a teaspoon. Crumbs from cookies are not thrown away, they will be useful for decoration.

Mix the crumbs, chopped and dried nuts in a frying pan, rum (if desired, you can without it), a little cocoa powder and jam at room temperature and fill the caps with this filling, inserting the legs into them. This will securely fasten the parts of the mushroom together and diversify the taste.

Dark chocolate is melted in a water bath or in a microwave, mixed with butter. We cover the mushroom caps, dipping each in chocolate glaze.

Dessert is ready, have a nice tea party!
