Pretzels, salt & vinegar crisps, white chocolate and Smarties cookies (known as kitchen sink cookies)

Makes 20 – 30, depending on size

 

9 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large egg

1 cup self rising flour

1/4 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

30 g packet Salt & Vinegar crisps, crushed roughly

70 g packet Smarties (Astros / M&M’s/jelly tots)

80 g slab white chocolate, cubed small

1/2 cup salty pretzels, crushed coarsely

 

Mix everything together with your hands – it must look like ‘cookie dough’.  Refrigerate for 1 hour.  Preheat oven to 170 oC.  Spray 2 baking sheets.  Form balls by heating it first in one hand, then other hand and place on baking sheet – not too close to each other.  Bake for 12 minutes.  As soon as you remove it from oven, take a flat-bottom glass and press down gently on the cookie balls.  Let cool.
