These lemon cream cheese "mints" are a refreshing way to switch up cream cheese mints! All you need to do is replace the traditional peppermint extract with lemon extract and lemon zest!
Add the softened cream cheese, butter, lemon extract, and zest to a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, and mix until you get a dough-like consistency that isn’t sticky.
Place the cream cheese mixture into 1/2-inch balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Press each mint down with the tines of a fork.
Let the mints chill for at least an hour in the refrigerator before serving.
