The base of these mints is made with powdered sugar, giving them their smooth and creamy texture. You'll need a significant amount of powdered sugar, so make sure to stock up before starting.

Step 2: Adding Food Coloring
If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to the dough and mix until the color is evenly distributed. You can add as much or as little as you like to achieve your desired color.
Step 3: Rolling and Cutting the Mints
On a surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or small round glass to cut out the mints. Place the mints on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
