Butter Mints

 From TikTok

This is half a recipe

1/2 stick unsalted butter

2 C powdered sugar plus a little to roll them out

1-1 1/2  T half and half

1/8 tsp peppermint extract

1/2 tsp vanilla paste

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, slow 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.
