- 1/4th of the dough: form about 70 small balls. Place them on the baking tray layered with parchment paper. Gently flatten them a bit; these are the bottoms of the mushrooms.
- Bake for about 10 min.
- Pull them with the paper from the tray onto a cooling rack. Let cool off.
- Form out of remaining dough 70 bigger balls, these are the mushroom heads.
- Use same proceeding as for the other cookies.
- Bake for about 15 min.
- Mix powdered sugar with water until you get a thick glaze. Use. baking brush and add some of the glaze on the bottom part of the mushroom heads. Take the bottom part and press against the upper part. The glaze makes them stick together.
