yes, butter can be used instead of margarine (the term oleo is archaic)
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. One stick of oleo is equivalent to 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons. So if you need to butter up some toast or whip up a batch of cookies, just grab that stick of oleo and get cookin'.
Oleo
Ghee and oleo.
Margarine or oleo.
A stick (or 1/2 cup) of butter.

Butter typically contains about 80-82% fat, while oleo, or margarine, can vary but generally has a fat content ranging from 30% to 80%. The main difference lies in their composition: butter is made from cream, while oleo is made from vegetable oils and may include emulsifiers and other additives. This variation in fat content and source can affect the texture and flavor of each product.
No, and for two reasons. Oil, any kind, will make your cookies lose their shape and they will spread all over the cookie sheet, and secondly, olive oil while it taste good would not taste good in cookies.
Here in the US, that's two sticks; as four sticks equals one whole pound of butter, or oleo-margarine.
Ghee, oil, oleo, shortening are the other words which could replace the word butter or margarine.
Yes, butter may be used to prevent cookies from sticking to the baking sheet. Cookie recipes that contain plenty of butter or shortening (rule of thumb: more than 1/2 cup) probably do not need to be baked on a greased (buttered) sheet. In fact, many cookies need to be baked on cool, ungreased baking sheets to prevent their spreading more than they should.
