      2. Make the Batter<\/strong><\/h4>\n
        \n
      • In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar<\/strong> until smooth.<\/li>\n
      • Add vanilla extract<\/strong> and eggs<\/strong>, mix until fully combined.<\/li>\n
      • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture.<\/li>\n
      • Fold in the chocolate chips<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        3. Bake<\/strong><\/h4>\n
          \n
        • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.<\/li>\n
        • Bake for 22\u201328 minutes<\/strong>, until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            • Sprinkle a little sea salt<\/strong> on top before baking for a sweet-salty touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
