Butter does not have to be used as the shortening for cookies/biscuits, but has the advantage of being a form of shortening that melts at body temperature, and therefore gives a luxurious mouth-feel or melt-in-the-mouth texture to the final cookie or biscuit.
Butter also has a flavour that complements sweet foods.

Yes, you can freeze stick Parkay margarine. Let it thaw before using it.
The usual substitution is 1 stick of margarine in place of 1 stick of butter, as they have approximately the same volume. By weight, this would normally be 1/4 pound for butter, slightly less for margarine. By volume, a stick is about 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons, or about 118 ml.
The fudge recipe says to use margarine,not the spread kind. All stick margarine says 60-65% vegetable oil spread. Can you use the stick margarine with that label?
Bake on glass or use parchment paper on metal
To convert measurements from tub margarine to stick margarine, note that 1 stick of margarine typically equals 1/2 cup, which is approximately 8 tablespoons. If a recipe calls for tub margarine, you can use the same volume measurement; for example, if it requires 1 cup of tub margarine, use 2 sticks of margarine. Keep in mind that tub margarine may be softer, so the texture of the final product might vary slightly. Adjusting for consistency might be necessary depending on the recipe.
In the UK 'Stork' margarine is still available as a 250gm 'block'
Four ounces of margarine is equivalent to: * 1/2 cup * 8 tablespoons * 24 teaspoons * 1/2 stick margarine 4 ounces of anything is a 1/4 pound, so I think that would be a full stick of margarine.
