Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup crushed peppermint candies
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies using a spatula.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly underdone.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cookies have cooled, lightly sift powdered sugar over the top for a frosty finish.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Frost Bite Cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of cocoa!
