Creamy Butter Mints

I just recently got this recipe from a lady who goes to our church. I am planning on making them today with our "Irish" meal. They have become one of my favorite goodies! ~KJV~

Creamy Butter Mints

1 lb pkg. powdered sugar
½ c. butter, softened
2 T. whipping cream
¼ t. peppermint extract

Place powdered sugar and butter in a medium bowl.  Mix on medium speed 2-3 minutes.  Add cream and peppermint, beat 3-4 minutes until well blended (may take much shorter time).  Shape into ½” balls, lightly press balls with thumb to form wafers.  Place on wire racks and allow to dry overnight, uncovered.  Store in an airtight container.  Makes 5 dozen.

(I made the balls half that size and yielded 10 dozen.)
