INGREDIENTS
⅓ cup granulated sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons light/clear corn syrup, I used Karo brand
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
4¼ to 5 cups powdered sugar, divided
6 drops green liquid food coloring
6 drops red liquid food coloring
INSTRUCTIONS
Line a large rimmed baking tray with parchment paper. Place the granulated sugar into a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer on low speed, beat the cream cheese, unsalted butter, light corn syrup, and peppermint extract for 1 minute or until smooth.
Slowly add 4¼ cups powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, to the bowl with the mixer on low. Once you get close to incorporating all of the powdered sugar, your dough will be so thick that you may need to switch to a spatula or wooden spoon and finish mixing the dough by hand.
Lay out a piece of parchment paper onto a clean counter and sprinkle ¼ cup of the remaining powdered sugar onto the parchment paper, then turn out your dough onto the parchment paper.
Divide the dough into three equal parts. Create a shallow well in the center of two of the dough balls. In the first dough ball, add the red food coloring.
Add the green food coloring to the second dough ball, and your last dough ball will remain white.
Carefully knead your red dough ball to evenly distribute the food coloring. You will need to add up to an additional ¼ cup of powdered sugar as you knead because the liquid food coloring will make your dough sticky.
Repeat with the green dough ball. You may need to knead your white
dough just a little with a tablespoon or 2 of additional powdered sugar. Note: The amount of extra powdered sugar you need for kneading depends on how wet/sticky your dough is. If the temperature is very warm, you may need more, or if very cold, you may need less. Don’t add too much powdered sugar at once. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it away.
Once all your Christmas peppermint patty dough balls have been colored and kneaded, roll each dough ball into a rope about 18 inches long (it should be about 1 inch thick).
Make ½-inch slices, starting at one end, until you have cut the entire rope into ½-inch pieces. Repeat with the remaining dough ropes.
Roll all the pieces of peppermint dough in the palm of your hand to make little balls. Set aside.
Drop 2-3 dough balls into the small bowl of granulated sugar and toss to coat. Place them onto the prepared baking tray. Repeat until all the dough balls are coated and on the baking tray.
Using the tip of a fork, lightly press the Christmas peppermint patties into little discs. The tines of the fork will leave a pretty striped pattern on the tops of each peppermint patty.
Allow the Christmas peppermint patties to sit out at room temperature, on the tray, for up to 24 hours before you place them onto a platter to serve. This allows them to dry and set up.

Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (113g)
4 cups powdered sugar 500g
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 Tablespoons heavy cream
Food coloring optional
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:24 Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or you may use a large bowl and an electric mixer, but the mint dough becomes very stiff so I do recommend using an electric mixer rather than stirring by hand) and beat briefly until creamy.
00:42 Turn mixer to low-speed. Gradually add two cups (250g) of powdered sugar, stirring until combined.
01:12 Add extracts, heavy cream, and salt and stir well, until completely combined.
01:51 Turn mixer to low-speed and gradually add remaining 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar until completely combined. Be sure to pause and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are well-combined.
If mixture is still sticky at all, add additional powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until no longer sticky and you’ve achieved a playdough-like consistency.
02:59 If desired, color with food coloring at this point.
03:30 Break off about 1-2 Tablespoons of mint dough and roll between your palms into a ½” thick log. 0 Place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet and use a sharp knife to cut into pieces between ¼-½” long. Repeat until you have rolled and cut all of your dough.
04:17 Allow to sit (uncovered) at room temperature for several hours until dry and then transfer to an airtight container. Keep mints in a single layer with a sheet of wax paper between layers. Mints will keep in a cool dry place at room temperature for up to two weeks or up to a month in the refrigerator.
