Serves/Makes:approximately 12 cookes

Ingredients

• 1 cup (225 ml) butter, room temperature (not margarine)
• 1 cup (225 ml) Kraft Butter Mints, crushed (place in Ziploc bag and use rolling pin)
• 2 cups (475 ml) flour
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) of sugar
• Sprinkles or candied fruit for topping

Preparation

• Cream butter until light.
• Add crushed mints and flour. Blend well, then chill dough.
• With floured fingers, pat dough into a 9 inch square pan on waxed paper.
• Sprinkle with super fine sugar.
• Cut into 1-1/2 inch squares and place on ungreased cookie sheets and decorate tops with sprinkles or candied fruit.
• Bake at 300 degrees (150 C.) for 18 to 20 minutes, until pale golden brown. DO NOT OVERBAKE.
• An interesting variation is to use 1 to 2 tbsp (30 ml) of a fine ground, premium cocoa with the flour.
• I recommend doubling this recipe.
