How to make cookies with smarties.
My children used to love my smartie cookies recipe when they were little and still do. These cookies with smarties never last very long in the biscuit barrel. I used to make this smartie cookies recipe with the children as well. It is a good introduction to cooking and of course, the final results are delicious. If you don’t want to use smarties, just change to 175g chocolate chips or any favourite. You don’t need a freestanding mixer, it can be done with a handheld, or completely by hand, just make sure the butter is at room temperature, otherwise, it will be hard work.
This smartie cookies recipe makes 16.
Ingredients:
– 200g Butter (softened)
– 200g Soft Light Brown Sugar
– 2tbsp Golden Syrup
– 1/2tsp Vanilla Paste
– 300g Self Raising Flour
– 3-4 Tubes of Smarties
Method:
1) Line some baking trays with baking parchment. I usually use three trays as the biscuits spread out while cooking.
2) In a freestanding mixer place the butter, soft brown sugar, golden syrup and vanilla paste, mix until creamy and combined.
3) Add half the flour and half the smarties and mix. This breaks up the smarties a bit. It will start to look like it is not going to come together, but it will.
4) Now add the remainder of the flour and the smarties and start mixing by hand, squeezing the dough until it forms a ball. Don’t worry it will come together. Children love this bit.
5) Once formed into a ball divide into 16 balls and place on the baking trays with space between each biscuit. Do not press down, they will spread by themselves.
6) Bake in the oven at 180C/Gas 4 for between 9-12 minutes. You will have to keep and eye on them as they will all cook at different times depending on where they are in the oven.
7) Once they are cooked, leave to cool on the tray to firm up before removing them with a fish slice and placing them on a wire rack to cool. They will be soft, but they firm up as they cool.
8) Once cool store in an airtight container, if they last that long. Mine usually disappeared before they are cold.

About Cooking With Candy:
******************************
Hello! My name is Jacqui Candy and I’m a menopausal fifty-something with two grown children. I live in the beautiful County of Warwickshire in England. My passion is cooking and there is always enough to feed any extras that turn up – and they often do! There is truly nothing better than sitting around a table enjoying food with friends – it’s where you laugh, cry, let off steam and appreciate each other. I can be lazy too! If I can make enough to be either eaten the next day and the day after, I will. I make mistakes too and my boys are my greatest critics. Never be scared to try something new. Everyone can cook xx
