# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour and baking soda, then set aside.
02 -
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat together the creamy peanut butter and unsalted butter until completely smooth.
03 -
Add light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter mixture, mixing until fully blended and creamy.
04 -
Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, followed by vanilla extract.

Add the flour and baking soda mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring on low speed just until combined. Scrape sides of the bowl as needed.
06 -
Fold in the old-fashioned oats and peanut butter chips by hand or mixer on low until barely combined. Do not overmix.
07 -
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to ensure ideal texture.
08 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line baking trays with parchment paper.
09 -
Roll about 1.5 tablespoons of chilled dough into balls with your hands and arrange on prepared trays spaced 8 cm apart. Optionally, top with extra peanut butter chips.
10 -
Bake in the centre of the oven for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and tops appear set.

Allow cookies to cool on trays for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
