Maybe you know of someone who could do with a little pick-me-up. Take it from someone who does not cook - this is the easiest recipe to help you pass on a little love to someone who needs it. At home we call it the "Smartie Biscuit Recipe" and it's super quick, easy and delish. I failed at life since I could not find any Smarties in London - but I substituted them with M&Ms.

(I totally bought a hand-beater for the purpose of this recipe. Since this recipe is so easy it makes you feel like you are Nigella hence justifying the purchase of the handbeater).Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket
I bought a big glass jar to put the cookies in and I designed a little label in three different sizes to stick on the jar. I added some ribbon on the jar neck and some washi tape to the cookie label.
