Yes you can and there is no taste difference- iodized salt just has the essential mineral in it- our bodies need it, so it is added to salt as a nutritional supplement.

The amount of iodine our bodies need is really minuscule, like a millionth of a gram per day. Iodized salt has a VERY tiny amount of iodine. In larger amounts it's poisonous!
Also consider that the salt in cookies is not exactly a major ingredient. It's just there to balance the sugar, to give the flavor a little tang.
I have always put a pinch of salt in cocoa, because my mom did that. When I was in college, once, I got to wondering why we did that. So I made two cups of cocoa, one with salt and one without. (My roommates and I often did experiments like this--experimenting with the best way to boil an egg, the best way to make popcorn, etc). We found that you couldn't really -taste- the salt, but it made the cocoa taste different--'darker', richer. It brought out the bitter taste under the sweet taste. It was very subtle.
Anyway, if you can hardly taste the salt, you're certainly not going to taste a millionth of a gram of iodine!

Iodized salt has no difference in flavor. Iodine is an essential nutrient amd it is added to the salt for that reason alone, not for a difference in flavor. It will have no effect in any recipe you make except to enhance the flavor just as non iodized salt does. Sea salt may have a slight difference in flavor than the regular and iodized but it still will not affect your recipes.

Most salt these days is iodized. There is no taste difference, only the addition of iodine to the salt.
Sea salt on the other hand, is much saltier than regular salt and you would have to adjust the recipe accordingly.

Yes you can use the iodized salt and there shouldn't be much of difference; besides you only need just a half to a whole teaspoon of salt for the recipe..Good Luck...

In the US, most salt is iodized salt (your basic Morton's is iodized). It will taste just fine. The iodine is just a supplement because most people don't get enough naturally, and it is a necessary nutrient.

There will be no difference in taste. I didn't think cookies need salt.

Iodized salt is regular salt, so it should be just fine:o)

Yes, you can use iodized or uniodized. Won't make a bit of difference.
