It got to about 10pm last night when my other half asked: 'do we have any chocolate?''No' I lied knowing full well I'd bought a tube of Smarties to decorate my nephews birthday cake.
'What about those Smarties? I could well eat some Smarties cookies' he replied...so his wish was my command! They were AMAZING!! I use the same recipe all the time, but they always seem to come out different...and this time they were perfect. Don't look like much but they were so delicious i though i should share the recipe with you....and then go out and buy some more Smarties for the other cake!
You can use other sweets, i have used a mixture of milk and white chocolate buttons before, so use anything you like really...the Smarties worked very well though.
6oz Plain Flour (i didn't have any so used self raising and it turned out ok!)
1tsp Baking Powder
4 1/2oz Butter (melted)
3oz Soft Dark Brown Sugar
2oz Caster Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla Essence
1 egg
1 or 2 tubes of Smarties depending on how chocolately you want them
1. The recipe is easy peasy really...just mix all your ingredients together in the bowl until they are combined
2. Blob tablespoons of the mixture on a tray covered in baking paper so they don't stick...they will spread out so don't put them too close together or you'll end up with one massive super cookie!
3. Bake on Gas Mark 5 for 10-12 minutes
4. Transfer onto a cooling rack and allow to cool...although the chocolate is nice and melted if you eat them when they are still warm! Still wait about 10 mins before you eat them though otherwise they'll still be a bit soft and might burn your tongue...and then you won't be able to taste the rest of them...what a waste!
So there you go...make them tonight as your Sunday night treat...
