- 1 ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- Add 1-2 additional tablespoons of half-n-half, if dough it too crumbly.
- Form the dough into a ball and roll out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick on a silicone mat.
- Place dough in the freezer for about 15 minutes until firm.
- Use a small circle cookie cutter (I used a 2-inch size) to cut out peppermint patties.
