Sea Salt Mints with Peppermint Extract

Instructions:

1. Combine the sifted powdered sugar and fine sea salt in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Stir in the melted butter, corn syrup, and peppermint extract using a spatula until the mixture forms a thick, cohesive paste.
3. Dust a clean workspace or parchment paper with cornstarch and turn out the dough.
4. Gently knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it reaches a smooth, matte finish and no longer sticks to your fingers.
5. Roll the dough into cylinders approximately 1/2 inch in diameter and slice into discs roughly 1/4 inch thick.
6. Place discs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press one or two grains of flaky sea salt onto the top of each candy.
7. Allow candies to chill for 3 hours and 20 minutes to firm up completely before storing.
