Has anyone used this to bake cookies instead of shortening or butter? If so, how's the taste?

Sorry, I have not used it in baked goods. I don't notice any odd taste when I fry eggs in it. It probably will change the color, adding a bit of red-orange tinge, which might not be desirable.

I've only used the 2 tsp (smallest) size. It makes cookies that are 2 inches wide. (Or 2 inches, if the dough is stiff enough not to spread as much.) I doubt if my information is all that helpful, but good luck.

It's done well in both cakes and muffins, as well as cookies. You could probably blend it with an all-purpose or cake flour, but I've never felt the need.

I have not made that cookie specifically, but have made MANY cookies and cakes. It bakes just like using regular eggs, only it is pasteurized so you can sneak the dough with no regrets.

I've used it just like regular flour. I made pizzelle cookies for Christmas and they turned out fine, cookies too. I also made pancakes with it.

Elevation and gas/electric ovens can make a difference in how it bakes up. This is usually pretty good, but I do like the devils food better. I found it to be a tiny bit crumbly, but started subbing coconut oil for butter and fruit juice for water and it is maybe too moist! Experiment with it. :)

I haven't bake those but my father has and he says it has came out wonderful! He has cooked cookies also. :) Hope this helped

I have -- more than once! It worked beautifully. A part of using a pan like this well, I think, is knowing not only the properties of the pan, but the habits of your oven. I use a sort of tired electric stove, and instead of pre-heating oven and pan, I usually oil well, put a little extra flour in the pan before putting the dough in, and let the oven and pan slowly heat together. That means I do end up cooking the bread for, say, closer to 40 minutes than 30, but the results have been delicious. The lid does a good job of helping the crust balance crispness and moisture. One thing to note: the dome on the lid is rather flat, so if your risen dough (even after punching down) does a really BIG second rise while it's cooking, it is going to bump against the lid. The one time that happened to me, it just meant the top was a little indented rather than really round, which doesn't bother me. In any case, it's cooked evenly and tasted great every time I've done it. I'm about to cook a couple of loaves to take with me for the holidays, in fact. :)

You can eat it right out of the jar or use it in recipes. I found a few online. Just google "Cookie butter recipes." Mostly, I just ate it with a spoon, right out of the jar.

Well, it tastes more like butter than anything else....I don't know about baking

I use it to make cookies and it works great. Even for chocolate chip cookies. no need to even grease the pan.

I just purchased this mixer, works great for cookie baking. Sounds like you need a heavier duty mixer.

Do you mean "scrape" out the dough? Once in a while I've had the dough stick a little, but not to the point of becoming troublesome or annoying. I did see this mentioned by another reviewer before I purchased. So far I've only used the scoop for cookie making but I must say I love it. I've found my family loves the small size cookies best.

I've found that it works great for mixing cake batters, though I have not tried it with thicker consistencies like brownies. I suspect the whisk tines may be too small for heavier things like cookie & bread dough. Cakes are great!

I have not tried it in anything other than the frosting; however, a friend of my daughter's tried it in her pie crust and said it was the absolute best pie crust she had ever made. I am going to try it in some cookies very soon. I believe the substitution ratio for this shortening is 2/3 cup for each 1 cup regular shortening but you can research that on the web to find out for sure.

I love this product. I bake cookies and they brown well. I use a cookie scoop so the cookies are nearly the same size, however the shape does not deter the taste.
