I made cookies with the butter before and had great success , but I used a very specific recipe which called for butter, not oil. I'm planning on making some more cookies, but this time I'm going to just get some betty crocker mix from the store, and those usually call for oil. My main question is, once the butter is in liquid form (right after it has been made and strained into a container), is it then ok to just add it to the cookie mix, or is it still necessary to refrigerate the butter for a few hours and then melt it again?

I am sure you COULD make them with melted butter. I have never seen a recipe call for melted butter.

For a decent result - it should be room temperature.

I feel like an idiot for having to ask but how the hell do you post a new thread. I might be stupid or maybe it just the weed!

ya u can use butter instead of oil... i use brownie mix cuz they will take double the amount then it calls for as cookies will be too runny if u double ur butter

Right, but is it necessary to refrigerate the butter then melt it again, or can i just throw that stuff right in the mix when it's hot and melted.

No, you don't have to refrigerate it first. I tried to soften the butter in the microwave and it remelted. So I just used the melted butter and it worked great.
