Healthy Trick

Just thought I would share a healthy trick Margaret taught me a while ago. When there is recipe that calls for a ton of butter, you can replace the butter with 1/3-1/2 as much canola oil. For example if the recipe calls for 1 cup butter, you add 1/3 c. or 1/2 c. of oil instead. Just to be safe, I don't usually go all the way when I do this however. I usually do it for half the butter amount. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 c. butter, I add 1/2 c. butter and 1/4 c. oil. I always do this in my snickerdoodle recipe and they turn out great every time.
