Cheerful Smartie cookies
Report
These cheerful Smartie cookies are made to put a smile on anyone's face. They're so easy to make, colourful and have a delicious crunch and burst of flavour from the Smarties hidden within. The cookies are crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle - the perfect cookie consistency in my humble opinion! So go on, spread the rainbow and bring some colour and joy to someone's day with a plate of these cheerful treats!

Ingredients
- 150 grams butter unsalted
- 225 grams sugar white granulated
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs we will use one whole egg and the yolk from the other
- 300 grams all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 200 grams Smarties and a few extra for decoration
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Don't preheat the oven just yet.
- Place the butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt on a low heat until liquified. Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, measure the white sugar into a large bowl along with the golden syrup.
- Pour the melted butter into the bowl with the sugar and syrup. With an electric hand mixer, or stand mixer, beat for 1 minute until combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, one whole egg and the egg yolk only from the second egg.
- With the mixer, beat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light in colour, thickened and creamy. If you are using a stand mixer, it might take less time to reach a light and creamy consistency.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and the bicarbonate of soda.
- Add the flour in two parts to the egg mixture, gently folding it in by hand with a spatula or large spoon. As soon as the flour has been incorporated, stop mixing.
- Tip in the Smarties and combine until you have an even spread of Smarties throughout the dough. Do this gently and don't overmix.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to measure out equal amounts of cookie dough. Gently shape each portion into a ball and place on the prepared baking trays. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading (about 8cm). You can now press some extra Smarties into the top of each cookie.
- Place the baking trays with cookies in the fridge while you preheat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 170℃/325℉/gas mark 3.
- When the oven's ready, place the first baking tray on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the cookies are light golden in colour. Repeat for any additional baking trays.
- Allow the cookies to cool on their trays for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
