Margarine can be substituted for butter in most cases. Sometimes a recipe states that no substitution is allowed. When the recipe calls for unsalted butter it will change the taste, and then you can use less salt in the recipe and equal out. Butter does have a distinct flavor that is best in cookies, but using margarine won't change the consistency.
A bit more:
Margarine has a higher water content, so it won't give the same results with many recipes as butter, and can affect both taste and texture. Pie crust and some cookies are good examples of this, also many cake recipes don't allow for substitution.

∙ 11y agoYes: many cooks would say that butter is far superior in cookies than margarine because it tastes better and it tends to make cookies brown nicer and get nice and crisp. Margarine works, but it's never as good and is usually used beause it's a cheaper substitute for butter.
Of course, if you are vegan you would only use margarine.
If the cookie is one that gets most of its flavour from butter -- such as shortbread -- then it will taste much better if real butter is used.
