Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and continue to mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the large mixing bowl, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
