Title: Butter substitute - cookie recipe
Post by: Irene on April 24, 2014, 01:58:01 PM
Hi, someone please tell me if I can just substitute a stick of butter with a stick of margarine for a pretty basic cookie recipe?  Or just use canola oil instead (although I'm not sure how much to use to replace a stick of butter)? I'm trying to accommodate someone with a lactose intolerance. Thanks!

The Fleischmann's Unsalted stick margarine is what we use.  Milk-free.

I use either Fleischmann's Unsalted or Earth Balance sticks for baking.

I think it's 1:1 for margarine and shortening.  Solid fats.  It's slightly less oil to one part butter, but the results vary.

Some margarines can contain milk!

I use Fleischmann's Unsalted or an Earth Balance sticks product for milk free baking.
