Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter (1 stick), softened

Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cook Notes
For an extra minty kick, you can add a few drops of peppermint extract to the dough.
Variations
- White Chocolate Mint: Swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.

Keto Version
Use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, erythritol instead of sugar, and sugar-free chocolate options to fit a keto diet.
