Good Old Peanut Butter Cookies

No I'm not running out of cookie ideas! I had a special request for PB Cookies and haven't made them for a LONG time! In fact, I don't think I've EVER made just plain PB Cookies! I remember making them with Oatmeal and Raisins a while back and they were a hit! Well, I guess I can't call these just PLAIN since I did use CRUNCHY PB, which added little pieces of peanuts to the cookie's texture. They were YUMMY! (Yes I know it's Thursday but I'm taking off on VACATION for the weekend and didn't wanna disappoint my buddies!)

Ingredients: (48 cookies)

3 c all-purpose flour
1 c granulated white sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c Crunchy PB
1/2 c (1 stick) butter, softened
1/4 c vegetable oil

Preparations:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed. Add peanut butter, oil and butter. Using a mixer, blend on medium speed until crumbly, about 3 minutes. Mix until thoroughly combined. Mixture will be very crumbly.
3. Roll dough into balls about 1-inch in diameter and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Let baked cookies cool 10 minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely.
