Ingredients

8 ounces nondairy cream cheese
1 tbsp. non dairy margarine
2 drops pure peppermint extract/oil
3½ to 4 cups food coloring paste (use corn-free if needed)
confectioner’s sugar, plus extra for dusting (use corn-free if needed)

Method

Mix the cream cheese, margarine, peppermint oil, and food coloring with a whisk until smooth. Gradually add in the confectioner’s sugar, about ½ cup at a time, until a stiff dough forms—much like Play-Doh.
Pat into a disk and roll out in between two sheets of parchment paper. Cut with a very small cookie cutter (or use a knife/pizza cutter to cut into squares) into desired shapes and then place on cookie tray that will fit in your fridge. Chill for 1 hour, then transfer to a resealable plastic container to store for up to 1 month in refrigerator. These also freeze well and can be thawed in your refrigerator until eating.
