Ingredients
▢
8
ounces
cream cheese
▢
2 to 3
tablespoons
butter
▢
2
pounds
powdered sugar
▢
1 to 2
teaspoons
mint extract
(peppermint extract is OK too)
▢
food coloring
various colors
▢
additional powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and mint extract. Mix with an electric mixer.
Divide the dough into portions so that you can dye each portion a different color.
Add a few drops of food coloring to the dough and stir until it is uniform in color.
Dust a baking sheet with powdered sugar.
Roll the dough into teaspoon-sized balls and place the balls on the baking sheet.
Use a fork dipped in powdered sugar to press down on the mints and make a design.
Allow the mints to set up for about 4 hours (uncovered). They should absorb most if not all the powdered sugar while they are setting up.
Store the mints in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. You may want to lay pieces of wax paper between the layers of mints.
