Can I replace margarine in a sugar cookie recipe?

[LillilannStarlman]

The recipe calls for a lot of butter, and I don't have as much as it needs. Can I get the same results with margarine?

Yes but butter makes a better tasting cookie and is probably better for you in the long run. Margarine is some pretty bad stuff. Long ago I can assure you I used all margarine to make cookies and it works fine.

Yes I believe so. Even substituting oil should be fine.

I guess you can but margarine is very unhealthy. If you want you can put margarine but I would suggest butter.
