2 drops peppermint oil
any color food coloring (optional)

-In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. Mix in peppermint oil. Color as desired with food coloring paste, or leave white.

-Roll mixture into small balls, and place on waxed paper. Flatten slightly with a fork dipped in powdered sugar. Let dry for about 2 hours on waxed paper, then freeze or refrigerate.
