This Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies recipe will quickly become a family favorite.
There are so many flavor combinations that I love, but my absolute favorite is chocolate/peanut butter. I have found with this recipe that dark chocolate is the best chip choice so your cookies won't be as sweet.
I love baking with dark chocolate chunks and peanut butter chips the best, but the base of this cookie recipe is absolutely amazing so you can also use milk chocolate chips, , or any of your favorite cookie mix-ins.

Most important cookie making tips
There are a few tips to remember with making cookies, but I think the most important one is to not over mix the eggs. I wouldn't mix them any more than 15 seconds.
Another problem that I find with making cookies is that people bake them too long. These turn out the best when you take them out before you think they are ready and let them finish cooking on the pan.
