Question for those who use vegan butter

I'm making dairy/egg/nut free cookies for Evan and it calls for 1/4 cup vegan butter.  We have vegan butter but it's in a tub, not sticks. 

1)  Is the formula the same so they can be interchanged?  Their website says the tub is good for baking so I'm assuming (?)

2)  Is a 1/4 measuring cup of the tub butter going to equal 1/2 the stick?

Re: Question for those who use vegan butter

  • I always wonder this myself when I'm making the allergy free cookies and cakes and don't have access to the sticks. I just make sure I really pack the butter into the measuring cup so it's like it's packed in the stick and I don't seem to have any problems with things tasting differently. I had to do that this weekend with sugar cookies that needed to be dairy free and soy free and they only sell the soy free in the tub. Not much help there, sorry!

    That's what I did.  They are about to go in the oven so I'm hoping it's not a lost cause!!

  • I've never had a problem using vegan butter from the tub.  I've also subbed coconut oil for butter.  :-)
