List of Ingredients

1 egg white
1 tablespoon cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 drops peppermint oil
16 ounces powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons butter, softened



Recipe

These may be frozen and kept for several months. Good to make ahead and have ready for the holidays. Combine egg white, cream, vanilla, peppermint oil and desired food coloring. Stir very well. Add box of powdered sugar all at once; mix thoroughly. Work in the butter, adding more sugar if needed to make a firm consistency. Shape into small balls. Arrange balls on waxed paper; press each ball with tines of fork dipped in powdered sugar or cornstarch. Let stand overnight to form a crust, then pack in tins with waxed paper between each layer.
