Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 220 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Smarties candies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on a low speed until fully combined and a dough forms.
Gently fold in the Smarties candies, reserving a small handful to press on top of the cookies later for decoration.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 18 evenly sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Lightly press a few of the reserved Smarties into the top of each dough ball for added color and decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear just set.
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious, colorful Smarties cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
