You can use non dairy margarine ( nuttelex) in place ofthe butter. I do and you can't really taste a difference :)

I too replace it with nuttelex. If you are looking for lower fat content, you could half the amount of nuttlex and use sweet potato for the other half... it will add the moisture and texture you may be missing?

nope not cos she wants to substitue - cos she didn't have any :D

:lol: I use rice bran oil for a chocolate cake that doesn't use butter.... but I can't find the recipe right now! Sorry!

Stir-n-Drop Cookies


2 large eggs

{2/3} cup vegetable oil, more for oiling glass

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

{3/4} cup granulated sugar, divided

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

{ 1/2} teaspoon salt
Heat the oven to 220.

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, using a fork. Stir in 2/3 cup oil, the vanilla and lemon zest. Reserve 1 tablespoon sugar; add the remaining to the oil mixture.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the egg mixture.

Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Stamp each cookie flat with the bottom of a glass dipped in the reserved sugar, continuing to dip the glass as you prepare the cookies. (Oil the glass before dipping in the sugar.)

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies at once from the cookie sheet.

If you bake the cookies one sheet at a time, stir the mixture between each batch.
