Smarties Cookies

Last week was the start of the school year !

remember this so important day... the day before, I prepared my school bag with a lot of exercise books and put pencils in my cute case. In the morning, I was going to school with butterflies in my stomach : who will be my teacher ? Will I be in the same form as my best friend ? If it wasn't, it will be tragic !

After we went into the classroom, I had to choose where i will sit and my neighbour... Now, very important step, i have to check if everything was ok, different exercise books and different covers, without forgetting to put my name on each one.
And in the evening, I have come back at home, with a lot of books to cover !

This year, I've got 2 starts of school year, one at school and another at work. So i decided to make some smarties cookies for my classmates and my colleagues. I chose smarties, as an allusion to the sweets we ate during playtime.

For this recipe, i chose the Pure Gourmandise ones, with a little change : i added a pinch of salt, some sugar and used mini smarties, because i made small cookies.

Smarties Cookies

for 25 little cookies
prep. : 15 min
cook : 13 min

Ingredients :
125 g of soft butter
100 g of brown sugare
40 g of sugar
1 eggf
175 g of flour
1/2 bag of easy bake yeast (about 6g)
1 pinch of saltl
65 g de mini smarties

Ustensils :
1 bowl, 1 wisk (or 1 fork), 2 baking trays, Greaseproof paper (or a silicone baking mate), 1measuring spoon : table spoon size (optionnal)

Preparation method :

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Mix up in a bowl soft butter with sugar and egg, with a whisk or a fork, until mixture looks fully mixed.

Add flour, yeast and salt. Mix up again until smooth.

Line a baking tray with a piece of Greaseproof paper (or a silicone baking mate).

You can use a measuring spoon to make cookies with the same size (i used the table spoon size, which is about 18 to 20 g of dough).

Roll the piece of dough between your hands to make balls.

Put the balls on the tray and mash each lightly with enough space around each to allow for the mixture spreading (about 5cm)

Put smarties on each cookie (I put 7 smarties per cookies). Smarties are closed, they will be spread during cooking.

Place in the oven for about 13 min. (duration can be different according to your oven), and turn the tray after 7 minutes.

Set the cookies aside for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
