  6. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Gradually add the flour and salt to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  8. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter cookie dough onto the brownie batter in the baking pan. Use a spatula or your fingers to gently spread the dough out evenly over the brownie batter.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the peanut butter cookie dough brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
