Easy Homemade Christmas Cream Cheese Mints

(From Our December 2011 Newsletter - Grandma C.)

Ingredients
  • 1 pkg (approx. 3 oz) Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature

  • 3 cups powdered sugar

  • 1/2 Tsp Peppermint or Spearmint extract, (your choice)
Mix cream cheese and extract with an electric mixer until creamy, then add powdered sugar slowly in small amounts until it becomes slightly difficult to mix with mixer.
Knead in the remaining powdered sugar by hand.
Then roll the mixture into small marble sized balls and roll in green or red colored sugar.
Place them on waxed paper, then flatten them with a fork or press with a stamper that has a design on it.  (I'm told you can put the mixture into a cookie press but I haven't actually tried this).
Let them set overnight on the waxed paper.
As a variation you can color the dough with a drop or two of green food coloring, then roll in the colored sugar.
Also, for other occasions, you can use any flavor of extract for these yummy candies!  (Orange is awesome!)
