Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Beat butter, oil, and sugar together until pale and fluffy.

Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop.
Bake for 9-11 minutes until set and pale on top.
Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
