3 1/2-4 c. powdered sugar
2/3 c. sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp. peppermint, spearmint or wintergreen extract

Mix 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, the milk, and if desired, a few drops food color. Knead in extract and enough additional powdered sugar to make a smooth dough. Roll dough to about 1/4 inch thickness between waxed paper. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place on wax covered cookie sheet. Let stand uncovered at room temperature 1-2 hours or until firm. Turn candies over and let stand 1 hour longer or until tops are firm. Decorate with frosting, if desired. Store tightly covered.
