new advice on dairy free cookies

[TheArmadillo]

I need to make some dairy free cookies but don't really want to be spending money on ingredients I won't use up.

I would like to do chocolate, cherry and almond flavour and I have dairy free plain chocolate, its the butter I need to replace. Can I just replace it with a flavourless oil? Or will that not work? I have googled but can't find a recipe I'm happy with. A lot of them seem to put in a bit of dairy free milk (I have that) but I'm not sure why?

Any advice would be welcome.

I use stork in a block ( gold wrapper) it''s for baking, or you could use a dairy free spread ( but I have had mixed results with that).

I use pure dairy free spread to bake with www.puredairyfree.co.uk and iirc some Stork is dairy free (I think it's the solid block rather than the Stork in a tub)

Thanks for this. I will see if I can get hold of some stork today.

very impressed as stork was cheaper than butter (about half the price) and couldn't tell the cookies were dairy free, they tasted normal.

thank you very much for the recommendations. Am trying the supermarket version (even cheaper) this week to see how that works.
