help with a recipe .....

[mamma_nee]

My battery on the suv went so i can`t get to a store right now but have to make cookies for tonights cookie swap ....
My recipe calls for unsalted butter and then has some salt in the recipe . What would happen if I ommitted the salt in the recipe and used the salted butter instead ??? will my cookies turn out okay you think ??? Or will my cookies be ruined ?

>>will my cookies be ruined ?

not even close - but things are 'relative' to the amounts.

salted butter has about 0.117 grams of salt per tablespoon
that 0.936 grams per 'stick' - call it 1 gram....

a teaspoon of table salt is about 10 grams; tablespoon = x3 or roughly 30 grams of salt

you can judge whether you need to 'cut back' on the salt based on how much salt is called for . . .

Many times I've used salted butter in my baking without adjusting my salt - no problem

Did they turn out alright? I used salted butter when I made peanut butter cookies last week and they were fine.

They turned out great ! didn`t quite measure the sugar so they are not very sweet which tis fine with me because I hate very sweet desserts .

do i have to buy a oven if i want to do cookie?

I use salted butter alot instead of unsalted and then adding salt to it.... And everytime it turns out great !
