LOL... I did the hide n’ seek with gifts one year... then decided to get a bin to put in the corner of my closet. Can’t wait for your recipe on the peppermint. :)

Peppermint Creams

1lb (3 1/2 cups) Icing (confectioners) sugar sieved
One egg white (large) or 2 medium
Few drops peppermint essence (depends on how strong you like them)

Sieve the sugar into a bowl and bind with half the egg white. Add peppermint essence and mix to a smooth firm paste, adding the remainder of the egg white if necessary.

Roll the pastry out on a board dusted with icing (confectioners) sugar to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Using a small plain cutter cut out rounds and leave them to set. Christmas time you could make stars or trees etc.

Leave to set

If you wish you can make chocolate mints by carefully and quickly dipping each peppermint cream halfway into melted chocolate. Leave them on greaseproof (parchment) paper to set.
