Merry Mushroom kitchenalia from Sears

I'm sure we all can remember "Merry Mushroom" in the 1970's sold at "Sears". If not a mother ~grandmother ~ aunt or friend that displayed this fun retro set of funky mushrooms in their kitchen. www.jazzejunque.com


All is for sale on our web site www.jazzejunque.com Under Sears.............




Thinking of doing a retro kitchen? You can always buy a piece or two of this fun set here and there. There's so many other pieces out there. I've had the pots & pans, curtains, spices and rack, clock and dishes. I do believe there is also shelf paper with these adorable fungi.



STOP IN AT JAZZ'E JUNQUE IN CHICAGO AND CHECK THEM OUT! They are in our retro 70's Peace window. Located at 3419 N Lincoln Ave. Just under the Brown Line El ~ Paulina stop.

1/4 cup brown sugar presssed tightly in the measuring cup.
Mix till light and fluffy.
Gradually mix in 2 cups of all-purpose flour mix well. (Don't overmix it will make the dough tough)
Divide the dough in two balls. Cut parchment paper to about 7 1/2" round. Take a ball of dough and press it flat on parchment paper. Use the edge of a fork to do the edging around the cookie. Repeat with remaining ball of dough.
Bake for 24 minutes. The edges will be slightly browned. Put on wire cooling rack for about ten minutes. Then cut into wedges like a pie. Each large cookie will do 8 wedges nicely.
Great baking and enjoy ~
