By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Preparation

Step 1

Line rimmed baking sheet with waxed paper.

In large bowl, beat all ingredients until crumbly. Knead until dough is smooth then divide into four balls.

Roll each ball into 18-inch long rope. Twist together two ropes at time and cut into 1-inch pieces. Place on baking sheet, cover loosely, and allow to dry overnight.

Notes:
For colored mints, use food color to color the dough. You might even want to twist two different colors together.
