Cookies "Mushrooms"

Cookies under the original name “Mushrooms” are a taste familiar to everyone since childhood: a sweet crumbly base and a “hat” covered with chocolate glaze. This delicacy can be made by hand, but it is better to use a special mold that gives the dough a characteristic mushroom shape. The finished dessert will easily brighten up any tea party and give you a feeling of pleasant and light nostalgia. To prepare cookies, only available ingredients are used that can be found on the shelves of any grocery store, and the cooking process is greatly simplified due to the shape, because the cook only has to knead the dough.
