Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking
spray. Beat cream cheese and butter together at high speed until fluffy and smooth; 1-2
minutes. Add sugar to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated and fluffy; 1-2
minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla; 1 minute.

In a separate medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually
add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir just until incorporated.. Do not over-mix.
Separate dough into three small bowls. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.

Once chilled, add in food coloring (one red, one green, leave one plain) until your desired color
is reached. Add the peppermint extract to the dough you are coloring green. Dough will be
sticky. If too difficult to work with, put the dough back in the refrigerator.

To create a cookie, take 1/2 t. of each color dough and roll together between the palms of your
hands to create the marbling effect of your choice. Be careful to not over incorporate to avoid
mixing the colors too much. Place cookies on baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-11 minutes.
Cookies should be light in color, not browned and just starting to brown on the bottom. Cool
on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional- Dust with powdered sugar.
