I only have 1 stick of butter and dont feel like leaving the house all the receips I see call for 2 sticks (aka 1cup) of butter.

Anyone have a 1/2 butter cookie receip?

thanks

Can't you just half the other ingredients and make a half a batch?

do you have shortening(crisco)? you can do half and half

nope

Maybe I am just a jerk but feel that's a risk your dh took when he left for golf - he may not get cookies. Lately I couldn't guarantee my dh would get a cookie even if I made a full batch!

or vegetable oil

I'd veto his rights to cookies if he went golfing, but that's just me. Make the half a batch as a "test"

peanut butter cookies generally replace half the butter with peanut butter. it's a good trick when you're short on butter in a lot of recipes. i used almond butter the other day in a coffee cake i didn't have enough butter for. works great! here's a recipe that looks pretty good:
