Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350?F (175?C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing in the mint extract and food coloring until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden; cool on baking sheets before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing in vanilla or almond extract alongside the mint.

Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes can enhance texture and prevent spreading during baking.

Substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor profile.
