Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside for later use.

- Fold in the Goodness: Gently fold in the oats and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape and Bake: Using a spoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for spreading.
