Ingredients
- 125 g Butter
- 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Cornstarch
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, vegetable oil, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Cream the mixture together until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and baking powder into the butter mixture, a little at a time, mixing after each addition. Continue until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a ball, approximately the size of a walnut. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
Step 5
To create the mushroom effect, dip the top of a clean bottle cap or a small circular object into cocoa powder, then gently press it onto the center of each dough ball to create an impression while leaving a cocoa pattern.
Step 6
Repeat with all the cookie balls, ensuring each has a mushroom-like appearance.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake; the cookies should remain pale and soft.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
