I have never liked the way cookies bake up without butter.  I tried substituting out butter with coconut oil, in my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe (given to me by Mary Carolyn Puckett over 15 years ago) and was amazed with the results.  

• 1 cup of coconut oil
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar

BEAT ALL OF THE ABOVE UNTIL CREAMY THEN ADD:

• 2eggs

BEAT SOME MORE AND THEN ADD 

• 1 ½ cup flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp soda

BEAT AGAIN AND THEN MIX IN 

• 3 cups of Oatmeal
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped Pecans or Walnuts
• 1 tsp vanilla

BAKE AT 350 FOR 12-15 MINUTES
