Drink the vanilla extract. Its mostly alcohol. It can't be imitation.....I don't think, anyway.. :)
You can but your finished recipe will taste of lemon not vanilla.
Vanilla extract can be replaced by almond, anise, mint, lemon or any other flavoring of your choosing. You also can leave out the flavoring or extract entirely. In that case, the cookies will be butter-flavored.
As a noun: I always use pure vanilla extract, never imitation vanilla flavoring.As a verb: They could not extract him from the wreck without cutting the car away with a 'jaws of life'.
You don't necessarily NEED vanilla extract in cookies, but it vanilla extract does add flavor to the recipe. I have accidentally left it out of a cookie recipe before, and you can definitely tell the difference. Without the vanilla extract, the cookies taste very bland.
I'm assuming vainla excart is vanilla extract. since the vanilla extract is only a flavoring agent, You can safely omit it, however the cookies will taste different. You can substitute have another extract (like almond!), but I would probably only use half the amount called for in the recipe.
Pure vanilla powder offers several benefits in baking and cooking. It provides a concentrated vanilla flavor without adding extra liquid, which can help maintain the texture of the dish. It also disperses more evenly than liquid vanilla extract, resulting in a more consistent flavor throughout the recipe. Additionally, pure vanilla powder has a longer shelf life than liquid vanilla extract and can be easier to measure accurately.
Some delicious alternatives to non-alcoholic Baileys creamer for a creamy and flavorful drink without alcohol include coconut milk creamer, almond milk creamer, oat milk creamer, or a blend of vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk.
Vanilla powder is a dry form of vanilla flavoring made from ground vanilla beans. It is used in cooking and baking to add a rich vanilla flavor to dishes without adding extra liquid. It can be used in place of vanilla extract in recipes and is often used in dry mixes like cake or cookie mixes.

The taste isn't AS rich, especially if you are making white cake.
Vanilla flavoring is subtle, and you can make the recipe without it. But if you want SOME kind of flavoring, you can use almond, rum, or chocolate extract.
