Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp salted butter softened
- 2 pounds confectioners' sugar plus additional for rolling
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- Red and Green Gel Food Coloring
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- With an electric mixer, cream together the cream cheese, butter and peppermint extract.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar. Mix on low speed just until combined.
- Dust a non-stick surface with additional powdered sugar.
- Divide evenly in 4 even pieces. Add a few drops of desired food coloring into each of the peppermint mixtures.
- Roll each color into a 20-inch rope. Cut into even 20 even pieces. Dust with additional powered sugar between batches to prevent sticking. Roll each cut piece into a ball then roll into the granulated (if desired). Press the center with a fork dipped in powdered sugar (like you would a peanut butter cookie).
- Leave on a wax paper lined baking sheet for 2 hours or until dry. Store chilled with wax paper between layers.
