Butter Mints - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 c. melted butter
3 Tbsp. boiling water
16 drops oil of peppermint (real mint, not extract)
food coloring (to acquire color desired)

Preparation

Mix with your hands.
Form into small balls and press with a fork to flatten.
Lay each ball on waxed paper and flatten each one as you make the balls so they do not set up too fast. Chill and store, but be sure to put waxed paper between the layers of mints.
