- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or by greasing lightly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.

- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
- Bake: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Cool and cut: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into bars for serving.
Notes
- For added texture, consider using chunky peanut butter or mixing in chopped peanuts.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.
