can i use vegetable oil instead of butter in my chocolate chip cookies?

Answer 1

OIL: Avoid substituting oils for solid fats when baking cookies, cakes, and pastries; it will make the dish greasy and dense.

If you must do so, substitute 3 parts oil for every 4 parts solid fat and consider increasing the amount of sugar and eggs in the recipe. Pie crusts made with oil aren't as flaky as those made with solid fat.

clarified butter (This is less perishable and it's better for frying since it can be heated to a higher temperature without burning.) OR olive oil (For frying only)
OR vegetable oil (Less flavorful but more nutritious.)
OR cooking spray (For low-fat frying)

Answer 2

Then the cookies would be thin and probably soupy rather than a nice rollable, or droppable mixture. Stick to either butter or shortening. If it were brownies sure but there is a difference in texture and consistency when it comes to replacing something solid (even if the butter is softened) with liquid.

Answer 3

Well I bought a cookie packet mixture (yes i was cheating!). It said to add Vegetable oil! There was no butter in the ingredients, I checked on the box. So my answer to you is yes :)

Answer 4

I heard that mud was better than both. Seriously,heck no!!! You should not replace a liquid for a solid.It will leave your cookies wet in the middle

Answer 5

Nope, butter contributes flavor and texture to your cookies.

Answer 6

I've done that, but got cookies that were paper thin and not as tasty.

I wouldn't. What really works well is butter flavored Crisco. (Solid shortening.)
