Butter Mints

Combined from a TikTok recipe and You Tube recipe

This is half a recipe

2 oz unsalted butter

2 C powdered sugar plus a little to roll them out

1  T heavy cream

1/8 tsp peppermint extract

1/8 tsp vanilla extract

Green or pink food coloring (or whatever color you want)

Cream the butter in a standing mixer. Turn off the mixer and add the powdered sugar. Turn it on the lowest setting. While it's mixing, slowly add the half and half one tablespoon at a time, until you get a play-do like consistency. 

Add the peppermint and vanilla paste.

If it's too wet, add more powdered sugar, if it's too dry, add more half and half.

Add a little powdered sugar to your workspace. Scoop it out, roll it into a ball, section into four sections. Roll each section out into a thin rope, about the thickness of butter mints, and using a bench scraper, cut into bite size pieces.

See an alternative rolling out video here using just your hands and wax paper.

Set them out to dry overnight.
