Yes, you can use oil instead of butter in cookies, but it may change the texture and flavor of the cookies. Oil can make cookies more chewy and less crispy compared to using butter.
Yes, you can use oil instead of butter when making cookies. However, the texture and flavor of the cookies may be slightly different when using oil.
When you're baking cookies, if you use shortening instead of butter, your cookies come out higher. They don't spread as much as they do with butter, so your cookies turn out like the ones in the pictures instead of flat.
Use the same amount of butter.
Without a doubt. Always use butter
Yes, in fact, that is what I use.
The texture and consistency would turn out different.
You can use butter or margarine as a substitute for shortening in cookies to achieve a similar texture and taste.
Of course you can make cookies with margarine instead of shortening, I do it with all my cookies. When you use margarine you don't need to grease your baking pans, and I think the cookies come out more tasty.
No, that won't work.
You should try to use baking powder instead of baking soda, if that's not the problem try using about 2/3 cup of oil instead of 1 stick of margerine or butter or chill your dough for about 2 hours before you bake the cookies. you could also use more butter.
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.
