Honestly, i would just go buy the butter you need. mainly those recipes with butter are the best, tastiest, and moist cookies.... if you alter anyhting it can change the whole taste and texture. its not worth wasting the ingredients with a substitute. trust me, i've tried.

Simple Sugar Cookies





Ingredients





1 1/2 cup flour


1/2 cup sugar


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon salt


8 tablespoon oil


1 tablespoon vanilla


1 tablespoon maple syrup


1 egg


cinnamon and sugar for coating





Directions:





Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix wet ingredients in measuring cup (make sure they're blended well). Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Using hands, form dough into a big ball. (If it sticks together well, then its the right consistency. If not, then add a bit of water and mix it well.)





Form dough into cookie sized balls and roll into cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each ball a little bit. Bake at 375 degrees for about 7 minutes.





Makes about 18 cookies (depending on how much dough you eat before you bake them!)

I never use butter because i have a milk protein allergy.





I use olive oil (it can be an expensive way to substitute though), so vegetable oil can work.





But I typically add in 2 tablespoons of vegan, organic margarine.
No but you can use Margarine or shortening! Hope this helps!
No - the batter will be too liquid and the cookies will spread out too fast in the oven
