Ingrédients
200 g Butter
150 g White sugar
200 g Brown sugar
6 g Salt
10 g Baking powder
200 g Chocolate chips
400 g Flour
100 g Nutella
No limit on Smarties
2 Eggs
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, place the butter in pieces and the two sugars.
If you don’t have a robot, in a mixing bowl put the softened butter (30 seconds in the microwave) with the sugar and mix with a spatula. - Once the sugars and butter are well mixed, add the eggs and mix. Add the salt, flour, and baking powder (speed 2 in the food processor, still using the paddle attachment).
- Add the chocolate chips, mix (at speed 1 with the paddle attachment in the food processor).
- Form balls of approximately 90g, and flatten to a thickness of 1.5cm
- Bake for 12 minutes at 160°C
- Once out of the oven, using a piping bag, coat the cookie with Nutella and decorate with lots of Smarties.
Astuces
- Take the butter out of the freezer 30 minutes beforehand to allow it to come to room temperature for easier mixing. You can put your cookie dough balls in the freezer for 15 minutes, then bake them for a perfect crispy-on-the-outside, chewy result. If the Nutella is too hard, microwave it for 30 seconds to make it easier to decorate your cookies.
Tips for crunchy and colorful Smarties cookies
Smarties coloring is sensitive to humidity. To prevent your dough from turning blue or pink, gently fold in the candies by hand at the very end. Do not overwork the dough and use it chilled (straight from the refrigerator).
The sugar coating tends to crack when heated. My pro tip: only put some of the Smarties in the dough. As soon as they come out of the oven, press the rest of the candies onto the tops of the still-soft cookies for a perfect look.
Yes, but the result will be different. Smarties have a milkier flavor and a thinner shell. M&M’s are more heat-resistant but larger. For peanut M&M’s, lightly crush them before adding them.
Contrast is key. Use a base recipe rich in brown sugar to obtain a very chewy (soft/sticky) cookie. The crunch of the Smarties will then perfectly balance the soft texture of the cookie.
