Steps:
- To the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and salt and beat for 1 minute on medium-high speed.
- 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.
- Taste the batter. If you want a more intense mint flavor, add additional mint extract, to taste (see note below).
- 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 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. Place cylinders on countertop and with a pizza cutter (or knife - be careful of your counter), slice cylinders into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 centimeter long.
- Store mints in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for many weeks.

BUTTER MINTS
Drop the candy thermometer! Making melt-in-your-mouth butter mints is as simple as sculpting Play-Doh (which means the kids can help). Whip up the four-ingredient dough, chop it into gnocchi-like pieces, and let them dry. Then package handfuls in parchment-lined tins to give as holiday gifts.

Steps:
- Combine butter and 2 cups sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until sugar is moistened, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until well combined. Return mixer to low speed, add remaining 2 cups sugar, and mix until well combined, 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high; beat until light and fluffy, 6 minutes more. Add peppermint extract, milk, and salt; beat until smooth.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with confectioners' sugar and turn out "dough" onto it. Divide into 5 pieces; tint as desired with food coloring, leaving one piece white. (Keep covered with plastic wrap while working to prevent drying.)
- Roll "dough" into 1/2-inch-thick ropes, then cut into pieces slightly over 1/2 inch long with a paring knife or bench scraper. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Let dry, uncovered, at least 12 hours. Mints can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

BUTTERY SOFT BUTTER MINTS
When I was little, my mom would help me make butter mints. Pushing a chair up to the counter, rolling the Playdough-like dough into ropes and cutting it into bite-size pieces, would keep me entertained for quite some time. Now, I make them to bring back happy memories and satisfy my sweet tooth when I need just a little something...

Steps:
- 1. ***You really need a stand mixer to make these. The "dough" will become very stiff and too much for a hand mixer.***
- 2. Add room temperature butter to bowl of stand mixer and begin to mix. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, extracts, salt, milk and food coloring, if using.
- 3. Once well combined, begin to add last 2 cups of powdered sugar. Once all has been added, the consistency should be that of Playdough.
- 4. Working with 2-3 tablespoons of dough at a time, roll in to 1/2 inch ropes. Cut into desired size, around 1/2 inch chunks. Place on wax paper or parchment lined sheet pan. Allow to dry for several hours or until they become as hard or as soft as you like. Then, store in an airtight container.
- 5. I sometimes use Country Crock plant butter sticks (almond, olive oil or avocado). It doesn't change the flavor, but it does make them cholesterol-free and they stay soft, left out in a candy dish, for several weeks, if they last that long. My mom would combine with dry roasted peanuts. Enjoy!
