Butter Use unsalted butter for best flavor. If you’d like to substitute margarine for health reasons, go ahead. But if it’s expense or calories you’re concerned about, save on something else—nothing tastes like real butter in cookies. For greasing cookie sheets, either butter or solid vegetable shortening is fine.
