– 12-ounce package Chocolate chips (semisweet)
– 2 tablespoons Water
– 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
– 2 Eggs
– 3 cups All-purpose flour
– 1 1/4 teaspoons Baking soda
– 1 teaspoon Coarse kosher sea salt
– 1/3 cup Unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions
1-Preheat your oven first, okay? That way, everything moves smoothly.
2-In a medium bowl, sift together your dry ingredients like flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps everything mix evenly and gives your cookies that perfect texture. Then, in a larger bowl, cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy that’s where the magic begins!
3-Beat in the eggs and vanilla next, making sure it’s all mixed well. Gradually add in the dry mix to form your dough, and don’t forget to fold in those chocolate chips and mint for that extra zing. Scoop the dough onto your baking sheets, space them out, and pop them in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, and let them cool before adding the frosting. For anyone wanting to keep it vegan or gluten-free, swap in those alternatives we talked about earlier it works great!
