Smarties Cookies

Smarties Cookies

Recipe

100g/4oz butter, softened

100g/4oz light muscovado sugar

1 tbsp golden syrup

150g/6oz self-raising flour

85g/30z Smarties ( around 3 tubes)

Takes 20 minutes. Makes 14 although I would probably have made them slightly smaller & made a few more if I do them again.

1- Preheat oven to 180oC /Gas 4/fan oven 160oC. Beat butter & sugar together until light & creamy. Then add the syrup.

2- Work in half the flour. Next stir in the smarties with the rest of flour& work into a dough with your fingers ( yay we love mess!) Divide into 14 balls & do NOT flatten them.

3- Bake for 12 minutes until pale golden at the edges. Cool before serving. 

These can be kept in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Will they really last that long? I doubt that very much!

Next time I would keep a few smarties back to add to the top as you cannot really see them now but I promise thy are there! 

I'm afraid I cannot find the actual recipe on the internet but you can still buy there book it is in HERE.
