Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 C Butter, slightly colder than room temperature
2 Tbsp Heavy Cream
3/4 tsp Peppermint Extract (or more to taste)
1 Pinch Sea Salt
1 lb Powdered Sugar, plus more for your hands
Directions:
Directions:
Using an electric mixer, beat butter on high until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add heavy cream, peppermint extract, and sea salt. Beat until thoroughly combined.

Add about 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar at a time, mixing on low until thoroughly combined. Repeat until all powdered sugar has been added. Turn mixer to high and beat for 4 minutes or until very light and fluffy. At this point you can taste the mint mixture and add additional mint if needed.

To shape mints: Roll the dough between your hands into a snake about the thickness of your pinkie finger for small mints, or the size of your thumb for larger mints. Cut into desired length. Tip: If the dough sticks to your hands, coat your hands in additional powdered sugar.

Place mints on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to dry at room temperature for 12 hours. Store mints in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
