Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), form dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls with the back of a spoon or your palm to about 3/4-inch thickness.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will set as they cool).
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your jumbo oatmeal peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
