Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
Add the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture and continue beating until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Using a tablespoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough to flatten slightly and make a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
