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.
Notes
