Coating

Prep oven at 400F. Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl until texture is even. Roll into quarter sized balls, and press them into sugar/cinnamon mixture to create a nice, even coating. Place evenly on cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes for chewy cookies, 20 minutes for crunchy.

We like 'em crunchy over here. Yum!

Just wanted to share an awesome recipe that I totally, absolutely did not find on Pinterest..

Ahem..

// THE GOODIES 
- 1 package fresh mushrooms, washed + stalks trimmed
- 1 egg
- Parmesan cheese
- Sprinkle of seasoning (garlic, parsley, pepper.. lots of possibilities)
- 2-3 cups of breadcrumbs

// THE DETAILS 
I used a little Mrs Dash garlic & herb seasoning and I made my own breadcrumbs using pretzel crackers. I mashed them with a hammer. No, really. It's cheaper than therapy and the results are delicious. I love using  a pretzel cracker hybrid because it makes for extra crunchiness. Plus they are already seasoned, so it makes life a little easier. Simply dip the mushroom in the egg mixture, roll it around in the crumb mixture and place it on the cookie sheet. Bake at 450F for 10-12 minutes.

TIP: wash and wipe your hands after every couple of mushrooms. This will keep things from getting too messy and potentially disastrous.

ENJOY!
