Rainbow Cookies
PRINT RECIPEINGREDIENTS
- 75 g Block Margarine or Butter (softened)
- 125 g Caster Sugar
- 1 tbsp Golden Syrup (see Golden Syrup note below)
- 125 g Self-raising Flour (see Self-raising Flour note below)
- 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- 100 g Smarties
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 180°c and lightly grease a baking sheet with a little butter.
- Cream together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Warm the golden syrup a little (until it's runny), then add to the butter mixture.
- Add your M&Ms/Smarties, then sift in the flour & bicarbonate of soda. Mix until combined.
- Spoon out a heaped teaspoon amount and roll into a small ball before placing onto your pre-greased baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the mixture - you should get around 8-10 cookies.
- Bake for around 10 minutes or until golden brown. Once cool enough to handle, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All my recipes are developed using a digital scale and the metric system (grams and millilitres). Cup measurements are available as a conversion but these, unfortunately, won't always be as accurate. For best results, I always recommend baking with a digital scale.
NOTES
Golden Syrup:
Golden syrup is a classic British baking ingredient. If you don’t have any, light corn syrup is the closest substitute. For more information, including all possible substitutions, where to buy it and how to make your own, see my Golden Syrup Ingredient Guide.Self-raising Flour:
Don't have self-raising flour? For this recipe, simply whisk together 125g (1 cup) plain flour and 1¾ teaspoons baking powder instead. If you bake regularly, you can also make a larger batch to keep in your baking cupboard. For full instructions, cup conversions and answers to common questions, see my Self-raising Flour Ingredient Guide.Tried this recipe?
