FAQs

Can I substitute coconut oil for butter in a cookie recipe? ›

Yes you can replace butter with coconut oil, just keep in mind that the taste and texture may also be altered in that you may have a slight coconut taste to the end product and the texture may change as well. I would do a 1:1 exchange (1 cup butter = 1 cup coconut oil.)

Coconut oil, olive oil, safflower oil, and coconut butter are some of the most used butter alternatives.

You can taste a bit of coconut flavor in these chocolate chip cookies, but it's definitely not overpowering. The coconut oil also lends a very slight crispness to the outside of these butterless cookies - but the insides are soft and chewy just like a perfect chocolate chip cookie should be!

Due to its liquid nature, using oil in cookies typically results in a denser texture. Also, because oil is 100% fat, it doesn't react with flour the way butter does (butter contains water). Because of that, your cookies won't be as fluffy. If you're a fan of flat cookies, then using oil is an excellent option.

Coconut oil and coconut butter have distinct differences in appearance, taste, and functionality. Coconut oil is best for frying and cooking. Coconut butter is great for making no-cook candies, or candies cooked slowly over very low heat.

In baked goods and other desserts, it works in any application where you'd otherwise use peanut butter or tahini, like swirled into brownies, mixed into cookie dough, or even to amp up frosting. As far as I can tell, me and coconut butter are in it for the long haul.

Can I mix butter and coconut oil? ›

Instructions. Bring the butter to room temp and warm up the coconut oil until softened. Blend all ingredients well with a hand blender (immersion wand) or food processer. Store in an airtight container.

Cookies made with coconut oil instead of butter will generally turn out OK, although they'll be a bit more crunchy. That's because butter is 16 to 17 percent water, while coconut oil is pure fat. Less moisture produces a crisper cookie.

Cornstarch helps product soft and thick cookies. Using more brown sugar than white sugar results in a moister, softer cookie. An extra egg yolk increases chewiness. Rolling the cookie dough balls to be tall and lumpy instead of wide and smooth gives the cookies a bakery-style textured thickness.

When it comes to baking, coconut oil makes a wonderful substitute for butter and other oils, like olive oil, canola oil, and vegetable oil. Regardless of the type of fat used in a recipe, you can swap in an equal amount of coconut oil.

Whether coconut oil is better than butter for cookies depends on your taste and texture preferences. Cookies made with coconut oil tend to have a more nutty flavor and slightly crumbly texture. In contrast, cookies made with butter tend to have a soft and chewy texture with a classic buttery flavor.

Keep in mind, though, that both butter and coconut do contain saturated fat and are considered “solid” fats. For baked goods that require solid fats, either choice will work, it really just depends on the flavor you desire. Coconut oil will lend a light, slightly sweet flavor versus butter's, well…, buttery flavor!
