Ingredients
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Mint extract (or flavor extract of choice)
- 4 drops Food coloring (optional)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a smooth dough forms.
Step 3
Mix in the mint extract (or your preferred flavor) until evenly combined.
Step 4
If desired, divide the dough into portions and mix in food coloring to create different colors.
Step 5
Sprinkle granulated sugar on a clean work surface to prevent sticking. Roll small pieces of dough into 1-inch balls, then flatten slightly with your fingertips or a fork.
Step 6
Coat each ball lightly in granulated sugar to add a slight crunch and prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the mints on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Let them air-dry at room temperature for 10-12 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Once dried, store the mints in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
