Answers:
You could use vegetable shortening or one of my friends does a cooking show and has lots of allergy free recipes!. If you email her she can tell you where to buy a dairy free butter substitute!. http://www!.youwontevenmissit!.com/index!.h!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Butter: Use a vegan butter substitute!. My favorite is Earth Balance buttery spread!. Because vegan butter substitutes tend to be less solid than dairy butter, make sure you freeze it before you use it in a vegan pie crust, and chill the crust 15 minutes before rolling it and again before baking it!. That's if you want a tender, flaky pie crust! also, unless you can find salt-free vegan butter, it's a good idea to reduce the salt in the recipe by half!. Vegetable oil can also replace butter or vegetable spread in most recipes!. Use around 25% less oil - 3/4 cup oil to 1 cup butter or veggie spread!.
1 cup butter = 1 cup vegan butter = 3/4 cup vegetable oilWww@FoodAQ@Com

You should use different alternative products, depending on the recipe you're using!. For instance, for cakes and similar, Stork Margarine or another brand that does not contain buttermilk is suitable!. For breads, I'd use lard!. For baking chicken, use olive oil but for baking or grilling fish, use sunflower oil!. Sometimes you might like to find new recipes that don't use butter, rather than adapting the recipes you've got!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Do not go with margerine what ever you do!. That stuff is one chemical reaction away from being a plastic!.
My parents have recently had to start a semi vgean diet for health reasons!. They still eat regular butter but I have seen soy butter substitutes!.
Something else they use is almond cheese!. It's pretty good stuff!. The mozzerella is my favorite!.
And also there is soy "cream cheese" not quite the same tanginess as real cream cheese but it is still good!.
Try those products out as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

dont use olive oil in sweet things, because there is too much of a strong flavor in it!. trust me, i have done that before, and it was terrible!. try using crisco -- its just vegetable oil in a butter sort of texture!. also, vegetable oil, remember NOT olive, will work totally fine!. i hope i could help!! :-)
happy baking!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can substitute butter-flavored Crisco in place of butter when baking!. Not sure if the same applies for cooking!.

Haven't tried it in cookies, but with cakes and brownies I substitute the amount of oil needed for an equal amount of unsweetened applesauce!. Everything turns out moist and delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Crisco actually makes better cookies than butter (softer) !.!.!. There are alot of cake recipes that use oil; or it could be substituted in alot of cookies, muffins & sweet breads!. Pie crusts are much better with Crisco tooWww@FoodAQ@Com
You've got to use fat in baking!.
Vegetable oil or shortening is usually used!.
