What to Do

• Soften the Butter : Take the butter out of the fridge and let it soften at room temperature
• Mix Butter and Sugar : Add the caster sugar to the softened butter in batches, mixing well after each addition.
• Incorporate the Egg : Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully combined and no longer visible.
• Add Flour : Gradually sift the flour into the mixture in batches, mixing well after each addition.
• Form and Freeze the Dough : After mixing, divide the dough into three portions. Add yellow food coloring to one portion and red food coloring to another. Roll each portion into a large, flat sheet and freeze them.
• Shape the Dough : Combine the dough as shown below to create the mushroom shape.
• Bake the Cookies : Bake the cookies at 120°C (248°F) for 20 minutes. Bake at low heat to preserve the color.
• Final Decoration : Use melted chocolate to add eyes to the cookies.
