Notes
For extra minty fun, try doubling the mint extract. 🔥
You can also swap mini chocolate chips for regular ones if you have them on hand.
Be sure to store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
If you're a big chocolate lover, consider adding a pinch of instant coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor even more.
