8oz. Philadelphia cream cheese (softened)
2lbs. Domino's powdered sugar
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. spearmint oil OR peppermint oil
green food coloring
red food coloring
Sift both boxes of powdered sugar evenly into two separate bowls (1lb. of sifted powdered sugar in each bowl). In a mixer add 1/2 of the cream cheese--beat until smooth. Slowly add 1 bowl of powdered sugar, a few drops of green food coloring and 1/4 tsp. spearmint oil while beating, and continue until all powdered sugar is added. Place green dough on your counter and knead it until smooth in texture. Measure 1/2 tsp. of the green dough, roll it into a ball, place it on a wax lined cookie sheet and press it down lightly with the tines of a fork. Continue until green dough is used up. In a mixer add the remaining 1/2 of the cream cheese--beat until smooth. Slowly add the remaining bowl of powdered sugar, a few drops of red food coloring, and 1/4 tsp. spearmint oil while beating, and continue until all powdered sugar is added. Place red dough on your counter and knead it until smooth in texture. Measure 1/2 tsp. of the red dough, roll it into a ball, place it on a wax lined cookie sheet and press it down lightly with the tines of a fork. Continue until red dough is used up.
