  Yummy a really good recipe but be warned instruction one says mix dry ingredients then next instruction says to cream butter and sugar, so don't add sugar at the beginning. I have learnt to read ahead :)

  These cookies are fab! They taste delicious and look fantastic (although some of my smarties split slightly, not that it mattered because the children ate them first). I followed the recipe in the magazine and didn't mix the smarties in the dough - has anyone tried this and does it work ok? I find 190c a little hot if you have a fan oven. I baked mine at 170c and left them in a bit longer and they turned out really crispy. However, don't overcook them if you prefer them a bit softer. Make sure you leave plenty of space between the cookies on the baking sheet because they do spread alot. My boys like BIG cookies and ping pong amounts of dough squashed to about a 1.5 cm thick will produce a lovely cookie about 13cm across. Hope you all make these, they're great!

  I tried this twice and on both occassions i found that the mixture would not come together properly. I added extra flour to do so which worked well. However the cookies were far too sweet and buttery.

  Thanks for this recipe - it's easy and tasty! I have made it a few times now, and occasionally replace 1tbs of the flour for cocoa powder just to make it even more chocolately! A word of warning - if you make this with children, keep a spare tube of Smarties as you're bound to 'lose' a few to eager tummies!
