PEPPERMINT PINWHEELS 
1/4 c. potatoes, riced (mashed)
3 1/2 to 4 c. powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
1/8 tsp. salt
Red food color

Beat potatoes, peppermint extract and salt in small mixing bowl. Beat in 2 cups of powdered sugar gradually. Knead in enough of the remaining sugar to make stiff dough. Divide dough in half. Add red food coloring to 1/2 of the dough. Roll each half into 7 inch square. Place uncolored dough on top of red dough. Roll up starting from edge. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour.

Cut slices 1/4 inch thick. Clean knife after each cut. Reshape into circles, if necessary. Let circles stand until dry on wire rack, about 2 hours. Store in airtight container at room temperature, no longer than 1 week. 2 dozen.
