I just started my holiday baking today and made Butter Mints with the kids. It is a really easy recipe and fun for the kids to make! They are so good and melt in your mouth!
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon Twin Brook Creamery 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
In a large bowl, beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, cream and extracts. If desired, divide dough into portions and knead in food coloring.
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.
