Answer 3

You can substitute applesauce or oil for the butter. Equal for equal (1/4 c butter= 1/4 c applesauce)
Good luck.

Answer 4

I always use shortening instead of butter in cookies. They come out better in my opinion. Everyone I know is like "why are your cookies so good, no one makes them like you, etc" and its cause of the shortening I think. Not necessarily healthy, but tasty nonetheless.

Answer 5

You could use shortening. I once had a recipe for choc chip w/ shortening instead. (I used butter flavored shortening) I do not know if it would require changing equivalency of other ingredients.
