The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Tea Party Mints

Found on Pinterest.  


4 1/2 tablespoons reduced fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon mint extract
food coloring (optional) - i used a few drops of yellow to get a very soft butter color
6 1/4 cups confectioners sugar

Beat the cream cheese until soft and fluffy, about two minutes. Add the mint and food coloring, if using, and mix until blended.  Add the confectioners sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until it forms a stiff mixture.  Form balls with about 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture.   Flatten with your thumb or tines of a fork. Store in the refrigerator.


Mommy and Hannah made these for Hannah's 12th Birthday Tea Party.  They were very good and super easy to make.  I think Hannah and I ate a bunch of them before the party.  :)  These are definitely on our "make again" list. Yum!
Love Always, 
Mommy
