A delightful and easy-to-make mint-flavored treat perfect for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and peppermint extract.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the bowl, mixing until a crumbly texture forms.
Add the sugar in small batches to avoid clumping.
Add water, one tablespoon at a time, and knead the mixture with your hands until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms.
Add water sparingly to achieve the right consistency.
Shape the dough into small bite-sized pieces or desired shapes.
Use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
Let the bites set at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
Allowing the bites to set enhances their texture.
