Homemade Butter Mints
Ingredients
- 1 lb powdered sugar 10x
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint flavoring found near the extracts in the baking aisle
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ c melted butter
- 2 Tb hot water
- Food coloring optional - a few drops as needed for desired color
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Beat this together until the mixture is smooth.
- You may need to add a little extra powdered sugar to created a soft dough consistency. If so, add it just a teaspoon at a time with the mixer going.
- If you wish to make colored mints, add a couple drops of food coloring to the dough and mix it in.
- Roll the dough into balls about the size of marbles and place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten them with a fork. You can also roll the dough into 1/2 inch logs and cut into pillows if you choose to do it that way.
- Let the mints dry on a cookie sheet or parchment paper overnight. That's it!
- Store the mints in your fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy!
