Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and egg until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
Using a spatula, gently fold in the quick oats and mini chocolate chips (if using).
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball lightly with the back of a fork to create crosshatch marks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
