Butter Mints

unsalted butter (softened (113 grams))

sugar (500 grams)

peppermint extract

vanilla extract

salt

Tablespoons heavy cream

Food coloring (optional)

Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or you may use a large bowl and an electric mixer, but the mint dough becomes very stiff so I do recommend using an electric mixer rather than stirring by hand) and beat briefly until creamy.

Turn mixer to low-speed. Gradually add two cups (250g) of powdered sugar, stirring until combined.

Add extracts and salt and stir well, until completely combined.

Add heavy cream and stir, gradually increase mixer speed to medium.

Turn mixer to low-speed and gradually add remaining 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar until completely combined. Be sure to pause and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well-combined.

If mixture is still sticky at all, add additional powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until no longer sticky and you’ve achieved a playdough-like consistency.

If desired, color with food coloring at this point.

Break off about 1-2 Tablespoons of mint dough and roll between your palms into a ½” thick log. Place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet and use a sharp knife to cut into pieces between ¼-½” long. Repeat until you have rolled and cut all of your dough.

Allow to sit (uncovered) at room temperature for several hours until dry and then transfer to an airtight container. Keep mints in a single layer with a sheet of wax paper between layers. Mints will keep in a cool dry place at room temperature for up to two weeks or up to a month in the refrigerator.

Add 3 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar, milk, peppermint, and beat on medium-low speed until a dough forms. If the dough seems wet, add additional confectioners’ sugar until dough combines (I use 3 1/2 cups sugar). The dough will be crumbly but will come together when pinched and squeezed into a ball.

Remove dough from the mixer, separate it into 1 to 4 smaller balls, and add one ball back into the mixer. Add the food coloring of your choice to the ball by squirting the droplets on top of the dough (careful when you turn on the mixer), and paddle on low speed until coloring is well-blended. Coloring will not blend completely into each and every speck of dough if examined extremely closely, but overall, mix until color is uniform. (I separated approximately two-thirds of the dough and made it green using about 15 drops green food coloring and made one-third of the dough red-pink by using about 7 drops red food coloring).

Wash the mixing bowl and the paddle in...

Wash the mixing bowl and the paddle in between each color change and repeat until all the balls are colored.

After the dough has been colored, either wrap it with plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to be rolled out later or roll it immediately.

To shape the butter mints, place a golf-ball sized amount of dough in your hands and roll dough into long thin cylinders about 1 centimeter wide.

These Homemade Butter Mints are sweet and minty with the perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. Perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, dinner parties, and more. Customize them any color that you like!

salted butter (, softened to room temperature)

heavy cream ((or whole milk))

vanilla

sugar

food gel coloring

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly dust with powdered sugar. Set aside.

Using a handheld mixer and a large bowl (or a stand mixer), beat 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth and creamy.

Add 1 tablespoon heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.

Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Gradually add the remaining 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until smooth and well combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed in-between additions. Dough should be very stiff and not sticky (if it’s still sticky, add more powdered sugar a little at a time until it has a Play-Doh consistency).

Divide the mixture into three separate bowls (or however many different colors you’re using.)

For pastel colors, add 1 scant drop of food gel coloring to each bowl and mix in until well incorporated and no white streaks remain. (Work with one color at a time and keep the remaining dough covered with a slightly damp towel, so it doesn't dry out.)

Pinch off small amounts of the dough (about 1 &amp; 1/2 tablespoons) and using the palms of your hands, form into balls, rolling until any cracks disappear. Roll each ball into a 1/2-inch thick log, then using a sharp knife, cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch mini pieces. Transfer them all to the prepared baking sheets.

Repeat rolling and pressing the remaining colors/batches of mints.

Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature for at least 3 hours (ideally overnight) until the mints firm up and the powdered sugar has been absorbed. (If the bottoms of the mints have any moisture, flip them over and let stand again until the bottoms are also firm. They should not be squishy at all.)

They can be stored in a cool dry place at room temperature for up to two weeks, an airtight container in fridge for a month, or freezer for 6 months. Store mints in a single layer between sheets of wax paper to avoid sticking together.

Homemade butter mints made with four simple ingredients. Soft, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth mints perfect for gifting, holidays and special events.

Easy Butter Mints

salted butter, (softened to room temperature)

powdered sugar (1 pound),

heavy cream or milk ((start with 1 tablespoon))

mint

food coloring (optional)

vanilla, (optional)

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners.

In large bowl, beat butter until creamy. With mixer on low, beat in 3½ cups sugar, 1 tablespoon milk/cream, and extract until creamy and smooth (add food coloring at this point*). If it seems dry, add a teaspoon at a time more of milk, mixing well after. The consistency should be like playdough and not sticking to your fingers.

Turn the dough out onto a work surface dusted with powdered sugar and knead until smooth and satiny, adding more sugar as needed. Cover the dough with a slightly damp towel to keep it from drying out.

Adding more powdered sugar as needed, portion out 1⁄8 to ¼ cupfuls of the dough and roll into two 1/2-inch-thick ropes. Cut each rope into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces.

Carefully transfer mints to prepared baking sheet with a spatula (the mints will be soft). Repeat with remaining dough.

Let air-dry at room temperature anywhere from 12 hours to 2-3 days until firm enough to handle.** The outside will be firm, but the insides will be soft and creamy. Transfer the mints to covered containers or bags.

We live on a dairy farm and I'm constantly looking for ways to utilize the fresh, raw milk.  I stumbled upon this recipe the other day and thought I would try fresh cream in the recipe.  Wow!  These things are amazing!!!  I know what everyone is getting for Christmas this year!  Thanks for a great recipe :-)
