  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • A few drops of green food coloring (optional)

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the peppermint extract and optional green food coloring until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed until just mixed.
