Can I substitute olive oil for butter while making cookies? I’ve found a recipe of a savoury biscuit which I would like to try. Just wondering how the substitution will work?

Any one already tried before? Can share some tips… TIA

i also dun use unsalted butter, becos most cookies' recipe also called for adding of some salt, so juz use salted butter, omit the adding of salt

i ever tried cutting down of butter and replaced by olive oil
but then , the taste and smell are affected,
lesser buttery taste and the worst of all, the omega smell is present

i didn't substitute with olive oil totally, only cut down the amt of butter use.

tt’s why when my oven burning… i din get a new one… one reason is so that i dun bake la… else i’ll be eating all the "goodie" haa…


i jst got two blocks of unsalted butter 3 days back, to bake bread… thinking maybe this will be "healthier" …

Thanks Augmum. I'll try partially substituting butter with olive oil. Since it is a savoury biscuit it might work I believe. For sweet cookies I don't think olive oil will go well.

What about other oils, like sunflower oil?

If my experiment turns out good all will eat. Else everything will end up in my tummy
