Preheat oven to 350. Grease a cookie sheet, set aside. In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, the 1/2 tsp salt and the baking powder, set aside. In a large bowl combine butter and peanut butter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Beat in granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla just until combined. Stir in flour mixture and oats just until combined.

Drop by rounded tsps 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to10 minutes or until edges are light brown and centers are set. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, let cool.
