Instructions
- Preparation: Lay out parchment paper on a flat surface and gather microwave-safe bowl, fork, and workspace essentials for smooth chocolate dipping process.
- Chocolate Melting: Gently heat mint chocolate chips in microwave, stirring at short intervals to create a silky, uniform liquid without scorching.

- Temperature Control: Let cookies set at room temperature for 40 minutes or refrigerate for faster hardening, ensuring a perfect chocolate shell.
