You will get a much different finished product. Since oil is a liquid and butter isn't, cut the amount in half and some sort of cookie will result. For something like a sugar cookie, it would not work. For a cake like cookie, it probably will. I use oil instead of shortening in biscuits and that seems to work. You just have to experiment.
