Instructions
- Start with softened cream cheese. (Divide cream cheese in separate bowls if you are making different colors and flavors.)
- Mix in the flavoring and food coloring. (Please note the recipe only calls for 1 teaspoon flavoring, so 4 colors will only use 1/4 teaspoon per color.)
- Slowly mix in the powdered sugar. A stand mixer is really helpful.
- Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball.
- Dip in sugar and press into the mold.
- Slowly remove from the mold by tipping upside down.
- Allow the mints to dry for a few hours.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
You can use any flavoring you like – lemon, mint, peppermint, and almond.
