Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

In a bowl, combine softened butter and both sugars (castor and light brown) and cream together until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Crush 120 g of Smarties, keeping some whole, using a rolling pin in a bag.

Add 1 egg to the creamed butter and sugar mixture.

Pour in the remaining vanilla essence and mix until combined.

Gradually add in the baking soda, salt, and flour, mixing slowly to avoid mess.

Fold in the crushed and whole Smarties into the dough mixture.

Scoop golf ball-sized lumps of dough onto a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.

Bake for 9-10 minutes until barely golden and soft in the middle.

Let the cookies cool for about 15 minutes on the baking sheet to firm up.
