Default Can I substitute coconut oil for butter in cookies?

If so, what is the sub. ratio? One to one or something else?

Any quick help would be greatly appreciated, as we are trying to make some cookies in the next hour or so.

Thanks so much,

Thanks.

For those who are interested...I did a little quick research and found this:

http://www.filippoberio.com/Recipes/...tionChart.asp#

It is for olive oil, but other sources confirm these amounts as 'correct' for any cooking oil, including coconut.

It has a cute printable chart. As with anything, I am sure you can add more or less to your liking, I just thought this chart was very helpful!

I would think coconut oil would be a bit different cause it has a more "butter" consistency... Interesting though...

I see what you are saying...except for the melting point, of course.

If you look at the chart, though...the amounts are so close that it doesn't likely make a difference either way.

Texture (fluffiness) is a huge deal to me, so I will probably go with the lesser substitution, just to (hopefully) insure a fluffier cookie.

I will be sure to report back with my results!

yes, it will work fine. But if you're used to butter in cookies, it will taste different.
