Time 1h45m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 dozen foil-wrapped rectangular chocolate mints, unwrapped
Decorating icings (any color from 4.25-ounce tubes), if desired

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, shortening and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
  • Heat oven to 400° F. Roll half of dough into 13x9-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Place mints on dough, forming 6 uniform rows of 6. Roll remaining dough into 13x9-inch rectangle on floured waxed paper. Place over mint-covered dough. Cut dough between mints with pastry wheel or knife; press edges of each "package" with fingers or fork to seal. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until light brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Decorate tops of each package with icings to form ribbon and bow.
