Recipe: chocolate cookies with mini Smarties

Sundays are perfect for baking. Today, we whipped up these chocolate cookies in no time. Healthy? No. Yummy? Most definitely.

What's that, you say? You want the recipe? Oh, ok then:

50 g butter (at room temperature)
175 ml sugar
3 tbsp water
250 ml plain flour
75 ml cocoa powder
½ tsp baking soda (or natron to you norwegian readers)
¼ tsp salt
3 small boxes of mini Smarties (or use chocolate chips, nuts, whatever)

(A handy metric to imperial recipe converter can be found here)

Place the butter, sugar and water in a bowl. Beat with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix all the dry ingredients and the smarties in a bowl and then add to the sugar/butter mixture. Combine by hand (yup, very messy) until a sticky dough has formed. Shape into 24 little balls and place on a lined baking sheet.

Bake at 200℃ (middle shelf) for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.

Enjoy!
