Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla for 1 minute. Gradually beat in the flour mixture then add the oats and chocolate chips (dough will be slightly sticky).
Using a #40 cookie scoop (roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons) or by hand, shape the dough into balls and divide between the two baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until puffed and edges are set (they may look underbaked but will set some more after cooling). Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes then carefully remove the cookies to cooling racks. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
