Margarine can be used as a substitute for the butter.
Of course you can make cookies with margarine instead of shortening, I do it with all my cookies. When you use margarine you don't need to grease your baking pans, and I think the cookies come out more tasty.
Baking spread is a type of fat used in baking that is a blend of oils and fats. It is used in baking recipes as a substitute for butter or margarine to add moisture and richness to baked goods.
The functions of butter is a dairy product that can be spread on bread (sandwiches, toast, scones) or used in baking cakes (though margarine is more likely to be used, depending on the recipe).
There are a lot of things you can substitute butter with. You can use margarine, apple sauce, and even pumpkin. What I like to do when I'm baking muffins is take my dry ingredients and instead of adding eggs or butter I use a can of pumpkin. It makes the muffins extremely moist and delicious, and a lot healthier.
Absolutely! It's probably even better.
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.
Yes, if by table spread you mean margarine. Butter will give a better flavour but margarine will be less fattening.
No, because it has too much water and will affect the dough.
