Ingredients
4 oz cream cheese
3 cups powdered sugar

- Add the softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Beat it using a hand mixer or a whisk until stiff peaks are formed.
- Then add turmeric powder, lemon extract and powdered sugar to the bowl. Continue to beat till well combined. It should come together like a soft dough. You should be able to shape them like a play-doh. You can also place it in the fridge after wrapping it in a cling wrap to help set.
- Use your hand to shape them into small 1/2 balls and place them on a wax paper or parchment lined tray.
- Press flat with a fork to give them a design and then chill in refrigerator or freezer for 2-3 hours or until ready to serve.
