Cream Cheese Mints

By á-2227

Ingredients

• 1 3 oz pack of cream cheese, softened
• 1 tsp peppermint extract
• 3 cups icing sugar, sifted
• food colouring (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Line baking sheets with waxed paper and dust with icing sugar

Beat cream cheese and peppermint extract (if adding food colouring, do so now)

Using a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon, form into balls the size of a cherry

Place 2 rows of dough balls 1/2 inch apart then flatten with a pretty stamp or fork

Lay out a couple of rows first so by the time you have reached the third row, the tops are dry enough that you can flatten without having to re-dip in icing sugar.
