No, and for two reasons. Oil, any kind, will make your cookies lose their shape and they will spread all over the cookie sheet, and secondly, olive oil while it taste good would not taste good in cookies.

∙ 11y agoAbsolutely Yes. Butter was the original fat used to bake cookies and is still the preferred ingredient. Oleo (margarine) was actually a substitute for the more expensive butter and over the past years became the "new" butter. Your cookies will taste much better made with butter.

∙ 6y agoGenerally, when substituting canola oil for butter in baked products, you can use ¾ cup of canola oil for every cup of butter. If you do a straight conversion (cup for cup), you will need to slightly reduce one of the other liquid ingredients in the recipe. You want to retain the consistency of your dough or batter.

Can butter made with olive oil replace shortening in baking?
Butter is made from milk. I can not be made from olive oil. Olive oil comes from olives and butter comes from a milk of some short (usually from cow's milk). If you are thinking of the margarine made with olive oil this is likely the spreadable kind that you buy in tub. This is not the same thing either. I think that it is vegetable oils whipped with water and salt and thickeners. Shortening is hydrogenated vegetable oil. You will have more luck substituting butter or lard for your shortening.
