Which Southern shower staple should Ivy make next?? Ingredients - 4 oz. cream cheese, softened - 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened - 1/8 tsp. table salt - 1/2 tsp. mint extract - 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract - 4 cups (1 lb.) powdered sugar, divided - Food coloring (optional) Directions 1. Place cream cheese, butter, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat at medium-low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add mint and vanilla extracts; beat at medium-low speed until well combined, about 30 seconds. Add 3 cups sugar and beat on low speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. With mixer on low speed, gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, beating until dough is stiff and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. 2. Turn dough out onto a work surface dusted with powdered sugar. Knead until smooth, about 5 times. If desired, divide dough into 2 or 3 equal portions. Add 2 drops of food coloring to each portion and knead until color is evenly distributed. 3. Pinch off teaspoon-sized pieces of dough and roll them into balls. Arrange balls spaced 1 to 2 inches apart on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Dip the tines of a fork into powdered sugar (to prevent sticking), and press fork into each dough ball to flatten into a 1- to 1 1/4-inch disk. 4. Let mints stand, uncovered, at room temperature until completely dry, 8 to 12 hours. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. #creamcheesemints #buttermints #oldfashionedrecipe #southernfoodtiktok
