Yes you may, a VERY softened room temperature butter. Making sure your eggs are also at room temp will give great volume to your cake. I am not sure of the baking time, so the last 5 minutes, be aware to keep an eye on the oven contents.

Know that butter substitutes (spreads) are not the same as using butter. Many of those are prepared as WHIPPED and/or have additional liquid (such as water) added to them. This answer given is strictly for BUTTER, not a SPREAD.

Yes, oil may be substituted for butter in peanut butter cookies, but the cookies may spread more than usual, and be flatter, as well as somewhat less flavorful.
