Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.

Step 2

In a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer) beat together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes (using a hand mixer if you don't have a stand mixer is a good option.)

Step 3

Add the two eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.

Step 4

Add the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix to combine well.

Step 5

Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes and then stir again (this gives the oats time to absorb some of the moisture giving you the nice cookie dough texture).

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, place a large tablespoon of dough on the baking sheet, about 3 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly browned.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing from the sheet and placing on a wire rack to cool.

Step 9

Enjoy right away. Store extras in an air-tight container for up to a week or in the freezer for much longer.
