Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C or 170°C for a convection oven). Line cookie sheets with baking paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter until creamy and well-combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix into the batter, starting with a few stirs and then mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in the oats by hand until evenly distributed.
- Add 3/4 cup of chocolate chips and mix gently. You can save the remaining 1/4 cup for dotting on top of each cookie.
Baking
- Form the dough into balls with about 3 tablespoons of dough each. A large cookie scoop works well, or use two tablespoons.
- Place the dough balls 2-3 inches apart on the lined cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops look just set. Do not let them get too brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the cookie sheets for at least 10 minutes. Optionally, press a few extra chocolate chips on the top of each cookie before serving.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
