Yes, of course :) Substitute 1 for 1 = use exact same amount of stick margerine as you would stick butter in your chocolate chip cookies. Note: do not try to use margerine spreads (i.e from a tub) = not solid enough & will ruin your recipe. Good luck!
In most recipes margarine could be substituted for butter, but not in the case of shortbread.
Shortbread dough is designed to be as dry as possible; this ensures the crumbliness of the final biscuit. Margarine has a much higher water content than butter which will make the resulting shortbread much less crumbly than it is intended to be; it will become much more like a shortcrust pastry. Although the substitution should not make it revolting, the result will not be as intended.
Yes, you can. I have already done it and it worked fine. Just make sure that you use a good quality margarine. But I have to tell you: It doesn't taste quite so yummy as if made with real butter. However, if you have troubles with eating butter (as far as I know that might be the case in people with a lactose intolerance), it is certainly a good option.
yes you can use actually most drop cookies call for margarine anyways
ABSOLUTELY YES! Margarine is another "form" of butter.
Yes you most definitely can but it is not recommended in most cases. It will make your shortbread taste unnatural since the taste is largely derived from the butter.
Yes,because butter is the same thing as butter cause i use it all the time while cooking.
yes
use butter flavored crisco You could use margarine. http://www.ukfoodies.co.uk has a delicious cookie recipe, this recipe has butter, but you could substitute it with margarine.
It is a Mexican cookie and is somewhat similar to a shortbread cookie. The secret to their flavor is butter, not margarine (it totally changes the taste and texture of the cookie).It may be the Polvorenes De Canele (Mexican Cinnamon Cookie) and the Wedding Cookie are the same cookie, and the origin of the polvorenes de canele is the phillippines.
It shouldn't. Substituting margarine for butter in cookie dough should work just fine.
But yes, in fact if you substitute shortening for butter in the tollhouse cookie recipe they will come out big and stay soft.
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.
There are about 142 calories in one shortbread cookie. However, this number may vary depending on the size of the shortbread cookie.
Applesauce can be substituted for shortening in some cookie recipes, although the resulting cookies will be noticeably different from those made with shortening. Applesauce should not be used in shortbread-type cookies.
Vegetable oil and butter are two types of shortening. All fats and oils are shortening, and can be substituted for each other, but this will affect the flavour and texture of the food, as some shortenings have stronger and different flavours, and also have different melting points.
Yes. You can substitute apple sauce in an equal volume for any dessert recipe that requires a fat like butter, margarine, oil, or shortening. It is almost the same and can be very healthy.
In many things you can use margarine, lard, or shortening instead of butter, or a combination of any of them. I actually use 1/3 butter, 1/3 shortening, and 1/3 lard for the fat in my homemade pie crust, which gives excellent results. Just keep in mind that margarine has a higher water content than butter, so depending on what you are baking, the results may be just a little different than with butter.
No, because it has too much water and will affect the dough.
use the same amount of butter that you would use margarine as for the flatness of the cookie that really doesn't have much to do with the oil used, try adding the baking soda at the end of the preparation.
