These creamy mints are smooth as silk and melt in your mouth! As a wife and mother of three youngsters, I treasure treats like these that come together quickly but taste terrific. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon half-and-half cream or milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract |
red and green paste or liquid food coloring, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, cream and extracts. If desired, divide dough into portions and knead in food coloring.
2. Form into balls by teaspoonfuls; flatten into patties, or roll between two pieces of waxed paper to 1/8-in. thickness and cut into desired shapes. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: about 8 dozen.
