Ingredients
½
cup
unsalted butter
softened
½
teaspoon
mint extract
⅓
cup
light corn syrup
3 ¾
cups
powdered sugar
3
Tablespoons
strawberry gelatin powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, extract, corn syrup, sugar, and gelatin. The dough will be crumbly.
Using your hands, pinch about 2 teaspoons of dough and work it into a ball. Place on parchment paper.
Repeat until all dough has been rolled. Dip tines of fork in powdered sugar and flatten each mint with a fork.
All the mints to set at room temperature for about 3 hours, to become firm.
Notes
Store in airtight container at room temperature. Or refrigerate and enjoy chilled.
The dough will be crumbly when you mix the ingredients together.
Use your hands to roll the dough into balls. The warmth of your hands will help the dough stay together.
Dip the fork in powdered sugar before using it to flatten the mints. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to the fork.
Let the Strawberry Mints set at room temperature for at least 3 hours before you eat them.
Give these as a gift or party favor in a cute jar with a ribbon. Wonderful for Valentine's Day!
