Servings: 30

Preparation duration: 180 minutes

1/2 teaspoon mint extract

3 3/4 cups powdered sugar

3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Equipment:

baking paper

mixing bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

In a large mixing bowl, blend all the ingredients together until fully combined. The dough will be very crumbly.Once you pinch a small amount in your hand, roll it until it comes together. You can make any size mints you like. I use about 2 teaspoons of dough, roll it into a ball, then place it on a piece of parchment paper. Flatten each ball with the tines of a fork.Allow the mints to sit for a while to become firm. After about 3 hours I put them in a bowl on my counter and leave them uncovered (until they are completely devoured). I prefer them to get more firm as the days (hours) go by! However, if you like, my grandma prefers to refrigerated them in a covered container after letting them sit for 3 hours. You decide how YOU like them! ENJOY!
