If a cookie recipe calls for canola oil can I use vegetable oil instead, and what is the difference between the two?

Canola and vegetable oil can be used interchangeably in baking and cooking. Both oils are very bland in flavor. Canola oil is actually a specific type of vegetable oil derived from the Rapeseed plant. It is low in saturated fat, high in monounsaturated fat, and contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
