Open House Mints
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine butter, shortening, 2 tablespoons warm water and 2 cups sugar; mix thoroughly. Add remaining 3 cups sugar and 1 tablespoon warm water. (If needed, add little more sugar to make mixture stiff enough to roll out.) Add 3 teaspoons warm water mixed with green food color and oil of peppermint; knead thoroughly to mix. Roll out to 1/8-inch thickness on waxed paper dusted with powdered sugar. Cut with tiny cutters or inside of doughnut cutter. Let mints stand bottom side up at least 2 hours (preferable overnight) and store in airtight containers.
