Ingredients
- 1 cup blanched almonds
- 1 ⅔ cups powdered sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1 ½ Tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
Instructions
- Finely grind 1 cup blanched almonds using a rotary hand grater.
- Put the ground almonds in a large bowl and add 1 egg white and 1 ⅔ cups powdered sugar. First, mix with a fork, then work by hand until you have a soft and slightly sticky cookie dough.
- Divide the dough into two halves. Work 1 ½ Tablespoons cocoa powder into one half, which may require some patience. Your hands will get covered with cocoa powder, but you can easily wash them under warm water afterward.
- Roll both doughs into long, equally thick cylinders. Place them side by side, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between them.
- Using a dough scraper or knife, cut the cylinders into equal-sized pieces, slicing both halves at the same time to ensure you get the same number of white and cocoa bits.
- Mushroom caps: Roll the cocoa piece into a ball. Using the end of a wooden spoon with a smaller handle diameter, carefully make an indent in the center of the ball.
- Mushroom stems: Roll the white piece into a ball and gently shape it into a cylinder. Pull the top part into a point and slightly flatten the bottom to make the mushroom stand upright.
- Lastly, insert the stem, pointy side up, into the hole in the mushroom cap and press gently to secure it.

Notes
- STORAGE:
- The basic recipe makes about 20 mushroom cookies.
- Let the finished almond mushrooms dry, covered with a paper towel, until the next day.
- STORAGE: Prepare an airtight container, either plastic or metal, and line it with paper towels. Carefully place the finished cookies in the box, seal it, and store at room temperature.
- How long before Christmas to make marzipan mushrooms? These are no-bake sweets that also contain egg white. Ideally, make the cookies less than a week before Christmas.
