Pin It Now!

Today, I am featuring Frosty Fairy Mints (from Barbara Beery's Fairies Cookbook). To see yesterday's post, Pixie Popcorn, click the link.

Frosty Fairy Mints

Ingredients

1 3-ounce package cream cheese

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. mint extract (I use a couple of drops of YL peppermint essential oil)

Assorted pastel food coloring

1/2 cup sugar

Directions

Mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer. Add mint extract to dough. Knead dough until it begins to form a ball and is the consistency of pie dough. If dough is too dry, add 1/4 tsp. water and blend into mixture.

Divide dough into 3 equal pieces and put 2-3 drops of food coloring onto each section. Blend colors into each portion. You can leave colors swirled or completely blend evenly.

Pinch off about a 2-inch piece of dough and form a ball by rolling between palms. Roll ball in sugar. Flatten out dough and cut into assorted shapes with a small cookie cutter.

***This is the recipe I copied from my other frosty fairy mints blog post. To see the original mints, click on the previous link. For these mints, I used sparkly, colored sugar and less food coloring.
