omitting salt if using salted butter: OK to do?

Cooking and Baking

Posted by moibec, March 1, 2009 at 7:05 PM

I didn't have unsalted butter on hand for a cookie recipe this weekend and so used the salted, but left out the 1 tsp salt it called for because I figured enough of it was already in the butter. Is this ok to do ordinarily? What will not having quite enough salt do in a recipe? (btw, there was 1 tsp baking soda in the recipe, too, and I added it obediently.)
