Cream Cheese Mints

Steps

1. 1Beat the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth. Add the peppermint extract and half of the powdered sugar. Beat to combine.
2. 2Add the remaining powdered sugar and beat again until well combined. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly to press together, add just a half teaspoon of water to the bowl. Beat again and repeat ONLY as needed, taking care to add the tiniest bit of water possible.
3. 3Use your hand to shape into small 1/2" balls and place them on parchment-lined tray. Press flat with a fork and then chill until ready to serve. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two weeks or freeze for up to two months.
