Spring Mint #Recipe

                       

• 1 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 4 Tbsp salted butter softened
• 2 tsp peppermint extract May use more or less to your taste
• 2 lbs powdered sugar plus additional for rolling
• Food coloring gels in assorted colors

Using a food processor or using an electric mixer, cream together the cream cheese, butter and peppermint extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar. Mix on low speed just until it comes together.

Dust a non-stick surface with additional powdered sugar. Divide evenly in 4 even pieces. Add a few drops of desired food coloring into the mint mixture.

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. Press the center with the tines of a fork dipped in powdered sugar.

Leave on a wax paper lined baking sheet for 2 hours or until dry.

Store chilled with wax paper between layers.
