Soft & Chewy Smartie Cookies Recipe | Valentines Day Bakes 2022!

Hello lovelies,

Would it be an Elle blogpost if I didn’t have a Valentine’s Day cookie recipe? I think not… so here I am, proudly presenting to you, my Smartie cookie recipe. DAMN, are they good!

I think you’ll have gathered by now that cookies are an absolute fav in this household. I quite honestly think I would have been disowned if I didn’t share with you a Valentine’s Day inspired cookie.

Let’s get real, if you are looking to make your loved one a treat this Valentine’s Day, you’ll want something that’s quick, easy and tastes delicious – that’s where I come to save the day with these cookies.

These cookies are one of my favourite I’ve made to date. They are soft, chewy and a little gooey also, they are what I’d class as the perfect cookie (without that sounding to pig headed haha).

Todays bake actually reminds me of a cookie you’d buy from Millie’s Cookies, so if you love a cookie from Millie’s, then you’ll love these. I can imagine Millie’s Cookies use a recipe very similar to todays recipe.

How To Make M&M Cookies:

• Firstly, gather together your equipment and ingredients, line two baking trays with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 190C / 170C Fan / Gas Mark 4.
• Secondly, in a large bowl, mix together the 240g of plain flour, 2tsp of cornstarch and 1tsp of baking powder then set aside.
• Now, in a separate large bowl using an electric whisk, whisk together the 185g of butter, 150g of light brown sugar, 50g of granulated sugar, 1 large egg and 1tsp of vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
• Mix in the 100g of milk chocolate chips, 75g of pink smarties and 75g of red smarties.
• Next, add in the dry ingredients until combined.
• Using your hands roll the dough into balls between the palm of your hands and place onto the parchment paper.
• Press a handful of pink smarties into the top of the cookies.
• Place the cookies into the oven and bake for around 10 minutes, until the edges have set (TIP: it may look a little underbaked in the centre, it will harden as it cools).
• Take the cookies out the oven, allow to cool and harden for 5 minutes on the baking trays before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Finally, using the remaining pink smarties, press them into the hot cookies.

That’s your Soft & Chewy Smartie Cookies prepared, baked and ready for you to demolish.

Imagine receiving a box filled with these cookies – ugh that would be dreamy. You’ll defiantly be in your loved ones good books.

Sending you all tons of love & hugs as always,
