Cooking Tip: Salt in Cookie Recipes
If you are using salted butter or margarine in your cookie recipe, omit the salt unless you like salty-tasting cookies.
A lot of cookie recipes were created back in the days when people only used unsalted butter or margarine. Then when everyone decided they needed salt for everything, the salt ingredient just stayed in. Helpful if you’re trying to cut down on your salt intake…just leave that 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of salt out!
Another note: I’ve heard that unsalted butter will be fresher than salted, because salt also acts as a preservative so the salted butter can sit on your grocer’s shelf longer. Maybe that’s why unsalted butter always tastes better!

Just add a little lemon juice or vinegar to the milk, let stand at room temperature for a few minutes and it will be curdled and sour. Use about 1 teaspoon for a cup of milk, adjust for more or less milk.
