- Use high-quality chocolate and peanut butter: The better the quality of the chocolate and peanut butter you use, the better the cookies will taste.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
