Buttermint Twists

Prep Time1 Minutes

Servings132

Ingredients

1/2 cup Land O Lakes Butter

5 1/4 cups powdered sugar

3 tablespoons Land O Lakes Half & Half

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Betty Crocker Red Gel Food Color

Directions

Beat butter on low, scraping sides often, until creamy. Add sugar, cream, and peppermint. Continue beating 2-5 minutes, or until a soft dough forms.
Divide dough in half. Beat red food color into one half until evenly colored. Leave remaining half white.
One color at a time, place dough on surface lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar; knead until smooth. Cover to prevent drying. Roll 1 tablespoon of each dough into 4-inch rope. Gently twist together a red and white rope. Continue rolling and twisting to form a 10-inch rope. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Place twists on paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Leave uncovered at room temperature 6-8 hours, or until surface is dry.
Store layered between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 1 month or freeze up to 2 months.
