on Dec 22, 2015, Updated Jun 06, 2023 21 Comments I remember as a little girl zeroing in on the location of these cream cheese mints anytime there was a bridal or baby shower, tea, or any other event or holiday where these little mints made an appearance.
Cream Cheese Mints Recipe
Sometimes they were tinted blue, pink, red or green for whichever occasion they were made to celebrate and sometimes they were left unadorned with just the simple mark from fork tines and a random dusting of confectioner’s sugar that fell off of the fork as it was pressed into the top of each mint. And as much as I loved these little mints as a young girl, I love them even more now as an adult. I’m not sure if it is because of the pure nostalgia of them or that I can appreciate their taste a whole lot more now than I remember doing as I stood guard over them as a young girl. But let me just tell you, they couldn’t be simpler to make and they are perfect for any get together – make that every get together!
How to Make Cream Cheese Mints
You can easily make them without, but I love the look of them made with a cookie press. You simply add the mint dough to your cookie press fitted with your choice of shape and press them as you would spritz cookies. Then, allow them to dry for about 2 1/2 hours or more and then carefully remove them from the baking sheet with a metal spatula. Here’s my family’s Cream Cheese Mints recipe. I hope your family loves them as much as mine always has! Enjoy!Robyn xo
