Cream Cheese Heart Mints

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon butter room temperature
  • 3 cups lightly packed powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon mint extract or other flavor like vanilla, almond, raspberry, etc
  • hot pink food coloring
  • 1 inch heart shaped cookie cutter
  • extra powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Use a food processor to pulse the cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar until it reaches a crumble.
  2. Add extract and pulse until it becomes a ball of dough.
  3. On a non-stick surface coated in powdered sugar, break the dough into 2 even chunks, set one aside.
  4. Place a few drops of hot pink food coloring on the dough and knead, adding powdered sugar as needed to prevent sticking, until the color is uniform.
  5. Coat a rolling pin in powdered sugar and roll the dough 1/8th inch thick. Use the cookie cutter to cut hearts and use a thin metal spatual to transfer them to a sheet of wax paper. Continue rolling and cutting the dough until there is about 2 tablespoons left.
  6. Mix the extra dough into the dough you set aside and kneead, adding powdered sugar as needed to until it is a uniform light pink color.
  7. Repeat step 5.
  8. Allow the heart shaped mints to dry on wax paper for at least 2 hours before serving.

    These might not have those silly words on them, but I bet they taste way better than those chalky “heart shaped antiacids”.

    We made these as Girl Scouts when I was a kid, I’m pretty sure, and I forgot all about them until this post! Thanks for sharing. I know what we’re making for Valentine’s Day this year! ; )

    These candies look so good. Yum. I use Young Living essential oils, and I”m thinking I could put a few drops of peppermint in with vanilla extract. I think I may try this for my next gathering. Thank you. #smallvictories.
