  7. Pour the batter in a slightly greased pan (with oil). I have used a 9 inch round pan in this recipe.

  8. Bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of cake comes out clean. You may need to place under the broiler in the last 5 minutes of baking.

Recipe Notes

  • The baking time depends on the size of your baking pan. If you use a larger baking pan, the cake will bake for less time.
  • It depends on the size of your eggs, you may need more or less to fill up 1 cup. In this recipe I have used 4 eggs.

Preparation time: 15 mn
Cook time: 20 mn
Total time: 35 mn

Ingredients
5 Ts unsalted butter at room temperature.
5Ts granulated sugar
7 Ts cornstarch
14 Ts minimum all purpose flour
1 ts baking powder
1 Ts vanilla powder
2 Ts cocoa powder

Preparation
These cookies are really a plus to your table in special occasions, they immediately attract eyes especially children’s eyes.My kids love them, so I thought your kids will too!
1- Cream the butter with sugar using an egg whisk or electric beater, then add the egg, the vanilla powder and mix well.
2- Add in the rest of the ingredients except the cocoa powder. You may need to add more flour if necessary, in order to obtain a soft and smooth dough.
3- Roll dough into small balls, the size of chestnuts.
4- Place the dough balls in a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
5- Pour cocoa powder in a bowl, and put around 2 Ts of water in another bowl.
6- At this stage preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Use a bottle cup or an empty bottle upside down, to shape the mushroom cookies (I used an empty water bottle upside down).
7- Soak the rim of the bottle in water, then dust it with cocoa powder. Press the rim of the bottle a little hard into the dough ball, making a stem and voila, you will have a mushroom shaped cookie.
8- Repeat the operation to all the dough balls. If necessary, wipe the rim of the bottle with paper towel!
9- Place your pan in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 mn, allow them
to cool a bit before serving.
