Ingredients
- butter - 200g butter, softened
- icing-sugar - 140g icing sugar
- vanilla-extract - 1 tsp vanilla extract
- large-egg - 2 large eggs, 1 beaten for glazing
- plain-flour - 350g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- smarties - 147g bag Smarties
- hundreds-and-thousands - 4 tbsp hundreds and thousands
- butter - 100g butter, softened
- icing-sugar - 140g icing sugar
- vanilla-extract - 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a food processor, whizz the butter, icing sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add 1 egg and blend to combine, then tip in the flour and blitz once more. Scoop the dough into a ball and wrap in cling film. Chill for 30 mins.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Dust 2 large baking trays with flour. Break the dough into large cherry-sized pieces. Roll into balls and put on the baking trays, spaced a little apart. Squash down the balls slightly with 3 fingers. Bake (in batches, if necessary) for 8 mins - the cookies will still be very pale at this stage.
- Remove the cookies from the oven. While still warm, quickly brush the tops with the beaten egg, then dip half in the hundreds & thousands, and press a few Smarties onto each of the remaining cookies - do this while the egg is still wet, so the toppings will stick once cooked. Bake for a further 4 mins. Leave to cool on wire racks.
- To make the icing, beat together the butter, icing sugar and vanilla. Once the cookies are completely cool, use the icing to sandwich together the 2 different cookies.Un-iced cookies can be made up to 4 days ahead and kept in an airtight container. You can fill with the icing up to 1 day ahead.
