1. Start by creaming together the butter and sugars in a large bowl, either with a stand mixer or hand mixer, until light and fluffy.

2. Add in vanilla and almond extracts, as well as the egg yolks, and mix well.

3. Add in dry ingredients and mix together slowly. The mixture will seem a bit dry and crumbly, but this is normal.

4. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl down well, and feel free to use your hands to finish incorporating all the ingredients.

5. Using a cookie scoop or simply your hands, grab about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.

6. Roll the ball in sugar, and then place on lined baking sheet.

7. Flatten a bit with the bottom of a clean glass.

8. Using your fingers, indent to make little mushrooms. Play around a bit to get it right, if necessary.

9. Chill in the freezer (or outside) for half an hour.

10. While cookies are chilling, preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).

11. RECIPE CONTINUED (I went to find the other post, here ya go!): Once cookies are chilled, bake in preheated oven for approximately 10-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just the slightest bit golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. You may also imprint the toadstools again slightly if they’re puffed up. While cookies are cooling, mix all the icing ingredients in a small or medium bowl until smooth. If needed, add a tiny bit more milk.

Once cookies are completely cool. Fill the toadstool cap with jam and stem with icing.

Pipe tiny dots of icing on the cap using a piping bag or ziplock with a tiny bit of the corner snipped off. Or simply use white sprinkles.

Store in airtight container and enjoy within a few days.
