Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and unsalted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add peppermint extract and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
- Sift in confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, until the dough reaches a soft, moldable consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold in colored sprinkles, being careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball slightly with a fork or press them into candy molds for decorative shapes.
- Chill the mints in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes
For best texture, use room temperature ingredients. Avoid overmixing to maintain the mints' melt-in-your-mouth quality.
