Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well.
5. Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve and enjoy!
