- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine these dry ingredients: all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until well combined, light and fluffy (about 1 minute). Scrape down the bowl with a spatula.
- Next, with the mixer on medium-low speed, add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined (30-60 seconds). Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.

- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated (this may take 20-30 seconds). Be careful not to over-mix.
- Fold in the oats until well combined.
- Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon mounds and roll them to form balls. Place them about 2.5 inches apart on the lined baking sheet(s) as they will spread.
- Bake about 13-16 minutes until golden brown and centers are slightly soft. Using a spatula, move to a cooling rack.
