Smarties Cookies

These are great, I'm such a kid! they look great perfect for parties or just a little treat, I seem to have this frozen dough in my freezer from time to time and they make a great addition to food/gift hampers.

115g Butter
115g Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Golden Syrup
1 Tbsp Vanilla Essence
175g Self Raising Flour
85g (1 Tube) Smarties

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees/ gas mark 4.
2. Cream the butter and the sugar.
3. Add the syrup, vanilla and the smarties.
4. Fold in the flour. ( i tend to make sure i have a deep bowl and put all the flour in while the machine is off, put a towel over the bowl and turn it on full - it seems to work)
5. You could just make them out roughly into cookie shape or you could roll into a cylinder shape and put in the fridge to make them easier to cut. It is at this stage you could freeze them if you want. 
6. Cook for 20 mins, or until golden - every oven is different.
7. Allow to cool

Enjoy!
