Vanilla extract or essence is added for concentrated flavour. Any substitute will therefore have a different flavour, but this can work well. Look for possibilities with concentrated flavour that won't alter the texture of the recipe. This may include alcohols such as rum, whiskey etc, or other flavouring essences. Consider the different flavours in the recipe and whether an alternative to vanilla would work with them. Eg: Chocolate cake with vanilla, could be changed to chocolate cake with orange essence or Grand Marnier: a different flavour, but just as nice.

How much vanilla extract should you use to substitute for 1 tablespoon of rose water?
To substitute for 1 tablespoon of rose water, you can use an equal amount of vanilla extract. Vanilla extract is a concentrated flavoring agent, so using the same amount as the rose water should provide a similar level of flavor intensity. Keep in mind that vanilla extract has a different flavor profile compared to rose water, so the final dish may have a slightly different taste. Adjust the amount of vanilla extract based on your personal preference and the specific recipe you are using.
Can you substitute vanilla extract with vanilla essence?
Yes you can and unless it is recipe that's main ingredient is vanilla bean, most people will not be able to tell the difference. As a matter of fact, most people can't tell the difference between pure vanilla extract and imitation that costs a LOT less. I use 1 teaspoon of extract for 1 pod of vanilla bean. If you are worried about the liquid imbalance in the recipe, decrease another of your liquids by a teaspoon.
Would you use the same amount of vanilla extract as you would vanilla flavoring?

You should use the same amount as called for in the recipe. According to Cooks Illustrated, imitation Vanilla has a *lot* more vanillin than real vanilla will have.

What can be used as a substitute for vanilla extract?
Just make it without the vanilla, there is really no substitute except the real vanilla bean, which is really expensive. Some use almond, which is really good but a different flavor.

What can you substitute for vanilla extract when making cookies?
I have only used imitation vanilla when making chocolate chip cookies. Yes, and it will make little difference in the final product, since the main flavor of chocolate chip cookies comes from a combination of ingredients, including brown sugar, butter and chocolate chips. Using high quality pure vanilla is more important when it's the primary flavoring, like vanilla ice cream or custard.
