1/4 cup butter softened ~ shortening or coconut oil for dairy-free
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter ~ I used natural peanut butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats ~ certified gluten-free if needed
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips ~ allergy-friendly if needed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl add butter, sugars, and peanut butter and mix well.
Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Add baking soda and oats. Mix to combine. Stir in chocolate chips.
Using a small cookie scoop or about 1 1/2 Tbsp of dough form small balls and press down slightly. These cookies don’t spread out much if any while baking so I bake quite a few at a time on the cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. 10 minutes for smaller cookies, 12 for larger cookies. Remove from oven and let cookies set for a couple minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Cookies will firm up nicely at room temperature, but we love them frozen.

These oaties also make fantastic ice cream sandwiches!
