These soft, buttery Christmas mints bring back memories of holiday gatherings at my grandma’s house. The smooth peppermint flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture make them the perfect festive treat for family and friends or to add to holiday gift baskets.
Ingredients:
½ cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
¼ tsp peppermint extract (adjust to taste)
Red gel food coloring
Directions:
Beat the Butter: In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter until fluffy.
Add the Rest: Slowly mix in the cream, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract. Beat until the dough becomes firm and smooth.
Divide and Color: Divide the dough into two parts—leave ¾ of the dough white, and color the remaining ¼ with red gel food coloring.
Roll and Twist: Roll out small portions of each dough color into ropes and twist them together. Pinch off small sections to form mints.
Dry and Set: Let the mints air dry for 1-2 hours, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Allow them to dry for 24 hours before serving.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
