Yes, but they won't be as delicious. The vanilla just adds some extra flavor. If you have almond or raspberry extract, you might want to try those as a substitute just to amp up the flavor. Whatever you choose though, that's what your cupcakes will taste like, so steer clear of anise (licorice) or peppermint.
Vanilla extract can be replaced by almond, anise, mint, lemon or any other flavoring of your choosing. You also can leave out the flavoring or extract entirely. In that case, the cookies will be butter-flavored.
You can but your finished recipe will taste of lemon not vanilla.
You don't necessarily NEED vanilla extract in cookies, but it vanilla extract does add flavor to the recipe. I have accidentally left it out of a cookie recipe before, and you can definitely tell the difference. Without the vanilla extract, the cookies taste very bland.
You can make cookies without vanilla by adding another sort of flavoring. Almond or lemon extract would be good substitutes, or you could add spices such as cinnamon and ginger.
Vanilla extract has a high alcohol content, and is usually not subject to mold.
I have only used imitation vanilla when making chocolate chip cookies. Yes, and it will make little difference in the final product, since the main flavor of chocolate chip cookies comes from a combination of ingredients, including brown sugar, butter and chocolate chips. Using high quality pure vanilla is more important when it's the primary flavoring, like vanilla ice cream or custard.
ingredients - flour, vanilla extract, 3 eggs, 1 or 2 butter, 12 tsp of sugar and then knead it. Next you roll the dough into a ball then take out a tray (not plastic, maybe metal) cover it with foil put the balls of dough on the foil then bake for 13 mins. The recipe is not vanilla cookies, they are sugar cookies. ENJOY :)
No. Vanilla is a flavor. Many things can have a vanilla flavor; shakes are one example. Ice cream is another. It is a common ingredient in baked goods such as cookies. 'Vanilla' often refers to vanilla extract, which is the source of the flavor. It comes from vanilla beans. Vanilla extract is a liquid that you add (in very small amounts) to give something a vanilla flavor.
Extract in "vanilla extract" is simply the liquid extracted from the insides of a vanilla bean.
Vanilla is typically sold in the form of vanilla extract, which is a liquid. However, vanilla beans, which are used to make vanilla extract, are solid pods that can be split open to reveal the small seeds inside.
I'm assuming vainla excart is vanilla extract. since the vanilla extract is only a flavoring agent, You can safely omit it, however the cookies will taste different. You can substitute have another extract (like almond!), but I would probably only use half the amount called for in the recipe.
most likely you can.... it shouldn't make much of a big difference:)hope it helped:)
