1/4 cup soft butter
1 pkg ( 15 oz) creamy white frosting mix
1 tsp peppermint extract
Food coloring, as desired
Recipe
Combine cream cheese, half and half and butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan.
Stir over low heat until cheese mixture is soft, creamy and butter is
melted.
Blend in the frosting mix and stir to blend well.
Add peppermint extract and food coloring of your choice. You may divide the
whole batch to make 2 to 3 different colors.
Roll mixture into balls or drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper lined
cookie sheets. Press with fork, or stamp with a cookie stamp for a
decorative design, if desired.
Let mints stand, uncovered at room temperature until firm and outside is
dry. Inside should still be creamy.
