Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookies No Butter
It's best to have all ingredients at room temperature and be sure to aerate your flour before measuring. I make these with cold pressed avocado oil. Works great with chocolate chips too. - Jenny Jones

Note: Can also be made with all butter or half butter / half oil, as long as you have 4 tablespoons of fat. That version is under the "Sweets" category.
So glad I read your note at the beginning of the recipe!
My granddaughter is allergic to all milk proteins except for Coconut milk.
So I am always looking for subs for butter and margarine. I will try avocado oil next time. Does this work in chocolate cakes as well?
thanks
You can use apple sauce instead butter or oil with cake mixes. Ratio is 1:1 (use the same amount of apple sauce as you would oil or butter.)
