Ingredients
  • 1 8oz. brick cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 5-6 cups powdered sugar
  • food coloring
Instructions
  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, start to mix the cream cheese
  3. Add in the peppermint extract.
  4. Slowly add the powdered sugar until thick. The mixture should be stiff enough to hold a peak.
  5. If you plan to make a few different colors of mints, divide the cream cheese into two separate bowls before adding the food coloring.
  6. Green mints need about 3 drops of green food coloring, and pink mints need about 1 drop of red food coloring.
  7. Add the food coloring to the cream cheese mixture and mix until the desired color is reached.
  8. Put the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip and make about nickel sized amounts on the parchment lined sheet pans.
  9. To make this style shape, hold the frosting tip 1/2-inch above the baking sheet, squeeze the bag until about a nickel size is on the pan, and then pull up quickly.
  10. Place sheet pan in the freezer for 2 hours to allow the mints to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and enjoy!
