Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 250 grams Smarties candy
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure tender cookies.
Gently fold in most of the Smarties (reserve a handful for garnishing).
Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Press a few of the reserved Smarties on the top of each cookie dough ball to ensure they look vibrant after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly underbaked—they’ll firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy the colorful, chocolatey goodness of your Famous Smartie Cookies!
