In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, allowing the mixture to completely incorporate before adding the next cup. The mixture should be a very thick dough.
Mix in the peppermint flavoring of choice, taste the mixture and add more peppermint, if desired.
Color the dough, if desired, by adding a few drops of food coloring and mixing or kneading thoroughly.
Either roll the dough into a long rope and then use a butter knife to cut small sections or portion out the dough into 1 tsp portions and roll into a ball. Use the tines of a fork and press down on the ball of dough, leaving an imprint.
Allow the mints to dry out at room temperature for a few hours, until hard.
Once the mints have dried, place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
