Smarties Cookies Recipe
Description
The Smarties Cookies Recipe creates a firm yet tender dough by mixing butter and light brown sugar until creamy, then folding in sifted flour and baking powder. Incorporating Smarties into the dough adds a playful color and mixing some in the dough with additional pieces on top gives a decorative finish. Baking these cookies at 180℃ for 10 to 15 minutes produces cookies that are lightly golden and vary in texture depending on baking length.
The bright, crunchy Smarties dispersed throughout contrast nicely with the soft dough, making these cookies appealing especially for a sweet snack or tea time treat. Cooling on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a rack helps maintain their structure and prevents breaking.
For a softer, chewier cookie, bake for 10 to 12 minutes; for a firmer and crumblier result, extend the bake time to 15 minutes or more. Using self-raising flour as a substitute requires omitting baking powder.
Ingredients
- 7.05 ounces butter at room temperature
- 5.29 ounces light brown sugar soft
- 10.58 ounces all-purpose flour or plain flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 packs Smarties tubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180℃/ 350℉/ Gas 4. Prepare a few large baking sheets/ trays, and line them with greaseproof paper or baking paper.
- Place the butter and soft light brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Using a handheld mixer, whisk them until you get a creamy buttercream in a pale colour.
- Sieve the plain flour and baking powder.
- Fold the flour mixture into the butter mix. Use a spoon or your hand to mix and knead a little until you get smooth cookie dough.
- Add the smarties into the dough and leave some for decoration. Quickly mix the dough and smarties.
- Bake the smarties cookies in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Leave the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- If substituting self-raising flour for plain flour, do not add baking powder.
- Bake longer for crumbly cookies or shorter for softer, chewier cookies, adjusting between 10-15 minutes.
