Can I use butter instead of oil? We dont need the soy or rapeseed (canola) in our diet. Thank you!

Applesauce is a good substitute. Same amount.

I have a very similar recipe called chocolate snow tops that calls for butter instead of vegetable oil, so I should think that would be no problem here. Another idea – try substituting mint extract for the vanilla extract for chocolate mint cookies.

Grape seed oil is cheap, good for your heart and brain and is neutral flavored. I’m going to use it in this recipe.

Cold-pressed grapeseed oil has health benefits; the more common type, which is refined (with chemical solvents), Not So Much! Never mind, I was thinking “grapeseed” not “rapeseed” (canola). Anyway, cold- pressed Grapeseed oil *is* also neutral flavored (& has health benefits)
