Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as it may affect the cookie texture.
Gently fold the chocolate chunks into the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft, as they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve the cookies slightly warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
