Instructions
Make the Peppermint Filling:
🧈 In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, softened butter, heavy cream, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. The mixture should form a thick, yet pliable dough.
🍚 If the mixture is too sticky, add more powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Shape the Patties:
🍬 Dust your hands and work surface lightly with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
🍪 Roll the peppermint mixture into small balls (about 1 teaspoon of filling each) and flatten them into disc
