Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese (1 package)
- 4-5 cup powdered sugar (see Passover note)
- 1 teaspoon flavoring - peppermint, vanilla butter, lemon, banana, etc.
- Food Coloring
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and stir till softened and partially melted into the butter.
- Turn off the heat. Add 4 cups of the powdered sugar to the pan and stir to form a soft sugary dough. If the dough seems to liquid or loose, slowly add more sugar till it firms up-- it should be firm enough to mold and shape. If making only one flavor, add 1 tsp of flavoring to the dough (or more to taste) and stir well.
- Divide dough into four equal portions. If making more than one flavor, add 1/4 tsp of flavoring (or more to taste) to each separate portion of dough and stir well.
- Color the dough by adding a few drops of food coloring to each portion of dough. For a pastel color, use 2-3 drops of food coloring per portion. For more vibrant color, add more drops.
- Shape the candies into round disks of about 1/2 tbsp each. Score them on top with a fork, if desired.
- Allow to dry on parchment or wax paper for a few hours until the candies set. Store candies in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Passover Note: If making during Passover, make sure your packaged ingredients are certified kosher for Passover. Passover powdered sugar (aka confectioner's sugar) can be tough to find. You can make your own by combining 4 cups granulated sugar with 2 tbsp potato starch in a blender – blend on high speed for 3-4 minutes until powdery.
