I want to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. I don't have any butter hear except for a few sticks of light butter. I do have crisco though. Should I make my cookies with the light butter or use the crisco. If I use the crisco I would like to add some butter flavor...how much should I add per cup of Crisco?

Thanks,
Hope

Not sure what light butter is (is that light margarine?)

I would use the crisco, your cookies won't spread like your regular recipe and they won't taste the same. But the crisco has the fat that is needed for your cookies to bake properly.

I also don't know what light butter is.....I have a few recipes that call for margarine so if you have that, you can use it. My standard calls for pure butter but spreads and although it tastes great, is flat as a freakin' pancake so I use half butter flavored crisco ( or add 1 tsp. butter flavoring/emulsion to each cup of regular crisco) They do not taste as good but I am still working on it....
