Cookies without butter
Description
This simple recipe is easy to prepare in your home kitchen. Its clear advantage is that margarine is replaced with vegetable oil. Much has already been said about the harm of spreads and margarines, which has become evident to most homemakers. This recipe yields a crumbly dough that is easy to shape and doesn't need to be chilled, since the cookies are baked without butter. To prevent the dough from hardening, you can add a little buttermilk. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
