Mushroom Cookies Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links.
My son doesn’t like mushrooms. I made him very realistic-looking mushroom cookies. I am hoping this will help him to like mushrooms or at least to taste them. These cookies are almost too cute to eat. They are good as separate desserts or as decor for cakes. This Mushroom Cookies recipe is simple and very fun to make with kids.

Wrap the dough into plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 20- 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350oF. Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper. Roll small balls from the dough with your hands and put on the parchment paper. Dip the tip of an empty plastic bottle in cocoa powder and press the rim of the bottle into each dough ball, making a stem. Bake cookies at 350oF for 15-20 minutes. Transfer cookies to the wire rack to cool. Sprinkle powdered sugar as desired.
