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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on a low speed until fully combined and a dough forms.

Step 6

Gently fold in the Smarties candies, reserving a small handful to press on top of the cookies later for decoration.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Lightly press a few of the reserved Smarties into the top of each dough ball for added color and decoration.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear just set.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Enjoy your delicious, colorful Smarties cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
