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.

If the recipe calls for butter, and not margarine, then you should be able to use shortening. You can also add some butter flavoring to the recipe to still give it the butter flavor, if you want. Margarine has some water content, and will not give the same results as butter or shortening.

Instead of butter you could use margarine, but that is disgusting, due to the fact it has the same chemical structure as plastic. And there is nothing you could substitute with eggs. I would just stick with eggs and butter. Hope this helps.

The only substitute for butter is the tooth of a small child, a hair from an elephants trunk, and the blood from your enemy.

Can you add the forgotten eggs in a cookie recipe before baking?

If you can get them mixed in fairly easily. If it is a stiff dough, you are going to have to basically knead the dough to mix in the eggs. This is going to work the glutton in the flour and make for a tougher cookie. You could take part of the dough and mix it with the eggs first so that it would have the consistency of mayonnaise or even peanut butter. This would get the eggs mixed together and it would take less to get them mixed into the rest of the dough. Whip the eggs first till the yolk and whites are well mixed.
