SMARTIE PANTS!
Smartie Pants
So why was I suddenly inspired to make Smartie Pants Cookies now? Well I figured, seeing as I have an exam tomorrow (feeling rather under-prepared-sort-of-in-denial at this point by the way), it couldn’t hurt to have some Culinary Courage or Foodspiration for that matter! Possibly these Smartie Pants will make me an INSTANT GENIUS bursting with knowledge! Maybe even you to! But I’m not promising anything. These cookies also make you feel infinitely better about yourself! Indeed I have never felt so much happiness baking before in my entire life! Apparently Smarties not only make you smarter, they make you happier too!
Well that’s enough convincing for me, I think I might have to bake these come every exam time!
Smartie Pants
Ingredients: 125g butter, ½ cup caster sugar, ½ cup brown sugar lightly packed, ½ tsp vanilla extract, 1 egg lightly beaten, 1 ¾ cup self-raising flour sifted, ½ tsp salt, ¼ cup slivered almonds, 180g Smarties©
Steps: Preheat oven to moderate, 180 degrees Celsius. Cream together the butter, sugars and vanilla using electric beaters until combined. Add lightly beaten egg, and beat until smooth. Mix in sifted flours and salt with a wooden spoon. Add slivered almonds and mix until combined. Shape tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls, and place onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Flatten gently, then press smarties into the surface. Leave about an inch between cookies as they do expand upon baking. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden
Makes about 30
Tip! To get the best looking Smartie Pants in town take heed: when you press the smarties into the surface of the cookie dough, try to place the smarties as close together and as many as possible, because the cookies expand A LOT upon baking. If you don’t put enough Smarties, the cookies tend to look a bit sad, a bit lonely, and a bit Smartie-less.
Millions of Smartie Pants cookies! .. maybe just a slight overexaggeration
Small Business Scope
I'd say about $2 or less .. haha.. although somehow I don't think that that is what you are asking. Are you asking about metric conversions? If not, just measure up to the line on your graduated measuring cup and you'll be halfway there!
