Yeah,usually I replace it with either Pumpkin pie mix or applesauce
I WOULD NOT SUGGEST IT.


olive oil is too strong. butter is always the best.


remember, butter- not margerine of oil spread.
Every time I have attempted to substitute olive oil for butter in any type of cookie, they have turned out either much too moist or very thin and crunchy (and black). I think the olive oil weighes down the flour more than butter, and depending on the recipe, messes up the dough. I would only try it if you are very patiant and have a lot of flour and sugar.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
You can, but it will tend to be a softer cookie %26amp; will spread more. If it's a bar cookie it will work OK.





I use applesauce to substitute butter or oils in cookies, cakes %26amp; even bread. Pumkin puree works great, too, which I've done in firmer cakes and breads but haven't tried in cookies.
no because the cookies will not be all the way done and they wont fall apart easily
Yes, you can replace butter with olive oil in cookie recipes.
Yes butter is way better in dessert recipes. I wouldn't even think of using olive oil in desserts. Don't they taste funny? Are you on a special restricted diet?
