1/2 cup caster sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/4 cup plain flour

1/4 cup self-raising flour

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease 2 large baking trays.

2.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined.

3.Sift flours and soda together. Lightly fold into the creamed butter.

4.Roll level tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. Arrange on prepared trays 4cm apart. Flatten slightly. Top with 5 or 6 Smarties.
