Prepare Filling:
1.
Combine cream cheese, and milk; add ½ cup powdered sugar gradually.
2.
Stir in 2 tablespoons peppermint candy and food coloring, set aside to be used later.
Construct Cookie:
1.
Cream butter; add ½ cup powdered sugar gradually; mix in vanilla, blend in flour. Knead dough in hands until soft and pliable.
2.
Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Shape into round teaspoons of dough. I use a #100 Ice Cream Scoop (3/8 Oz.)
3.
Make a deep well in center of each ball by shaping into a bowl shape with thumbs. Fill with ¼ teaspoon of reserved filling.
4.
To close, gently wrap dough around filling and pinch shut. Gently round into ball. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F; for 12 minutes.
Prepare Coating:
1.
Roll warm cookies in combined ¼ cup powdered sugar and 6 tablespoons candy. Reserve leftover coating to double dip cookies after completely cooled, if desired.
Tip:
1.
To crush mint candies, place in a plastic zip bag, remove excess air. Then coarsely crush by pounding on a concrete surface using a hammer. Next place in food processor and pulse a few times for a fine chopped candy coating.
