Ingredients You'll Need
To make these Christmas butter mints, you'll need butter, powdered sugar, milk, peppermint extract, and food coloring. You can find all of these ingredients at your local grocery store. It's important to use butter instead of margarine, as it gives the mints a richer and creamier texture. You can also use any flavor of extract you like, but peppermint is the classic choice for Christmas.
Making the Mints
To begin, cream the butter in a mixing bowl until it is light and fluffy. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and continue mixing until well combined. Next, add in a tablespoon of milk and mix until the dough becomes smooth. Then, add in a few drops of peppermint extract and mix well. If you want to make multiple colors of mints, you can divide the dough into separate bowls and add different food coloring to each one.
Shaping and Cutting
Once the dough is well mixed, it's time to shape and cut the mints. Roll the dough into a small ball and then flatten it with your fingers or a rolling pin. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out your desired shapes. You can also use a knife to cut the dough into small squares. Place the cutouts onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Let Them Dry
After cutting out all of your mints, let them dry overnight. This will give them time to set and harden, making them the perfect texture. Once they are dry, you can store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Get Creative
This Christmas butter mints recipe is not only delicious, but it's also a great opportunity to get creative. You can experiment with different shapes, colors, and flavors to make your mints unique. You can even add sprinkles or edible glitter for a festive touch. These mints also make great gifts, so don't be afraid to package them up in a cute container and give them to your loved ones.
In conclusion, this Christmas butter mints recipe is the perfect addition to your holiday baking repertoire. With just a few simple ingredients and some creativity, you can create these mouthwatering treats that are sure to impress. So, gather your loved ones and enjoy making these mints together, creating memories that will last for years to come. Happy holidays!
