If I don't have vanilla for a cookie recipe, can I substitute it with melted vanilla ice cream?

I've used different types of extracts depending on the cookie. In a sugar cookie, I've used unsweetened koolaid especially lemon; just a little.


Sometimes I use maple syrup or add more brown sugar instead of white for more flavor.


Here are more ideas.


';Almond extract, rum, amaretto, Grand Marnier, framboise, or any of dozens of other extracts, essences, brandies, or liqueurs could stand in for vanilla in certain recipes 鈥?accentuating and blending flavors. But whereas vanilla is neutral and works in almost any sweet recipe, most of the other possible flavorings have a signature flavor of their own, and you鈥檒l want to be sure the one you choose is compatible with what you鈥檙e cooking.';





Update: Actually, you could use it but it would throw off the compositon of your recipe. You would need to lessen the fat content and moisture. It would be tricky.If I don't have vanilla for a cookie recipe, can I substitute it with melted vanilla ice cream?
NO.... its definitely not the same, just skip it vanilla is really just for a little bit more flavor, nothing is going to happen if you do not add it inIf I don't have vanilla for a cookie recipe, can I substitute it with melted vanilla ice cream?
No. Just skip it entirely if you don't have it, or try something else like chocolate or maple syrup.
no use some liquor if you have some .
No! I'm pretty sure that vanilla ice cream mostly isn't vanilla (it's sugar plus a lot of artificial chemicals...) I would just go over to the nearest grocery store and buy some vanilla extract- they're not expensive.
You may use almost any type of liquor. Vanilla extract is usually 35% alcohol. When I do not have any vanilla extract I use vodka or rum. No vanilla ice cream will not do.
No. Either leave out the extract entirely, or use another like almond or orange, depending on the type of cookie you're making.
