Servings: 12 cookies
Calories: 314kcal
Ingredients
- 150 g Butter, melted
- 130 g Caster sugar
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 1 Medium Egg
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1+½ Teaspoons Black gel food colouring
- 250 g Self-raising flour
- 100 g Milk chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- 60 g Orange M&Ms or Smarties
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, caster sugar and brown sugar. Then stir in the egg, the vanilla extract and the black food colouring.
- Mix the flour in with your spoon then mix well to make a thick, sticky dough.
- Pour the milk chocolate chips into the bowl and gently stir them in.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- Place the balls onto a lined tray and freeze for 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350℉ (or 160°C/320°F for fan and convection ovens).
- Spread the balls 2-3 inches apart on the tray to allow space for spreading. I usually bake 4-5 per tray at a time.
- Bake for 14-15 minutes, until firm to the touch around the edges. The centres may look underbaked at first but they will continue to firm up as they cool down.
- While the cookies are still hot fresh out of the oven, gently press Orange Smarties and extra chocolate chips on top.
- Leave the cookies on the tray until completely cool then enjoy!

Notes
- If you prefer, you can swap 2 tablespoons of the flour for black cocoa powder instead of using black food colouring.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
