cookies using olive oil
" Hi Cynthia, I just realized while cleaning out my email box that I never answered you. I'm sorry! The answer is, yes, I have used olive oil in place of shortening for cookies, but it doesn't come out that great. The final product seems to be either crumbly or greasy or both. {sigh} I definitely prefer coconut butter, since it comes out better, but I must admit that I sometimes long for the days when we could just use margerine or Crisco. Oh well, that just means fewer cookies for me, since I am less inspired to make them now...and that's not a bad thing at all! (-: Joyfully, Sue
