Chocoltae chip cookies help?

Question

okay so i wanna make chocolate chip cookies and the recipe calls for 2 sticks of butter but i only have 1 1/2 sticks butter
can i stil make them or no?

Answer 1

You need all 2 sticks... you can sub 4 Tbsp. of Crisco, though, for the other half a stick... or borrow froma neighbor.

Answer 2

Try this:

melt 1 stick of butter in the microwave for a few seconds in a medium sized microwavable bowl.

Add 1/2 cup sugar and a 1/2 cup brown sugar to the melted butter. Add 1 egg and a tablespoon of vanilla extract. Set that aside.

In a large bowl put 1 and 1/8 cup flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Add your butter mixture and mix well.

Add a half bag of chocolate chips and/or a half a bag of walnuts and fold gently.

Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Answer 3

You need to use the 1 1/2 sticks PLUS 1/4 cup shortening or lard to make the cookies come out right. If you have STICK margarine, use 1/2 stick of that, DO NOT USE TUB STYLE MARGARINE OR BUTTER.

Answer 4

Cut down the recipe in half. It's always better to use the correct ratio of ingredients because baking is chemistry. until you've made a recipe many times, it's better not to change things up. not that it couldn't make cookies with less butter, but it would not turn out the way you want.

Answer 5

Yes u can make them but they might not be as rich as they would if you had butter. U can use 1/2 tsp. of oil if u want.

Answer 6

either wait to have the butter to make the cookies of sub with oil

Answer 7

you can make half of the batch if you wanted.
just use one stick of butter and cut the rest of the amounts of ingredients in half.

otherwise, you have to buy more butter if you want to make an entire batch.

Answer 8

make half a batch and eat the dough.


Send someone else out to the store to replenish your ingredients while you lay on the couch smirking cause you already got yours.
