Shortbread Mushrooms

Mushroom: is the fleshy, spore bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source.
Mmm...doesn't that sound appealing?
How about I change the definition....

Mushroom: melt in your mouth buttery cookie-like food that finishes with a hit of cocoa.

Now that's my kind of mushroom!!
I made these babies from shortbread. It kills me how realistic they look! I also learned that these are amazing to dip in coffee. Imagine the look on my co-workers face when she saw me dipping "mushrooms" in my coffee!! However, I had her try one, and she too was hooked!
