Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of dough per cookie (using a cookie scoop or spoon) and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten the tops of the cookie dough balls slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown. The centers will still look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for a soft and chewy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
