Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies

2 cups crunchy natural peanut butter
1 1/2 cups honey
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces jelly, any flavor

1. Mix together peanut butter, honey, oil, and vanilla until completely incorporated.
2. In a separate bowl combine flour, wheat germ and salt. Add to peanut butter mixture, stirring until it makes a stiff dough. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
3. When dough is chilled, preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a cookie sheet; set aside.
