Soft Christmas Peppermints

Ingredients:

3 ¾ cups powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)

⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk

½ teaspoon peppermint extract

Red and green food coloring (gel preferred)

Granulated sugar (for coating)

Directions:

Prepare the Base Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and peppermint extract. Stir together until a soft dough begins to form.

Knead Until Smooth:
Lightly dust your work surface with powdered sugar and knead the dough until smooth and pliable. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more powdered sugar; if too dry, add a teaspoon more of condensed milk.

Divide and Color:
Divide the peppermint dough evenly into three portions.

Leave one portion white.
