Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies using a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly underdone.
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.
Once the cookies have cooled, lightly sift powdered sugar over the top for a frosty finish.
Serve and enjoy your Frost Bite Cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of cocoa!
