Has anyone made Penny's SC recipe and used margarine instead of butter? Does it work? I don't have any butter in the house right now and want to make a batch if I can.

Thanks

I make Penny SC exclusively and yep, I've started using margarine sticks and it works just as well so its saving me a little $$ not using butter.

Also, cookies made with margarine stays fresher longer than those made with butter.

I don't know if the recipe is on CC but here is the link to the recipe

I also found a super yummy brown sugar and spice cutout cookie recipe over the weekend and tried it out. If you love cinnamon and spice ~ these are to die for. They did puff a bit but quickly flattened out when I pulled the parchment sheet of cookies to the cooling rack. I ate 1 while it was still warm and icon_twisted.gif Ooopss 2 broke so I HAD to eat them. icon_lol.gif

Any recipe that calls for "butter" I always use margarine and I have for almost 50 years. I was the oldest of six kids during the time when households were one-income, and my mother could never afford to buy real butter. Heck, I was in my late teens before I even knew that the stuff we used wasn't "real" butter! The first time I tasted real butter was probably the last .... nasty! Tart and bitter to me!

indydebi ~ come to think of it real butter was only for special occassions in our house. Funny thing is I have always preferred eating margarine over butter on my food too thumbs_up.gif

Joshsmom, Cookies w/margarine stay fresh tasting longer because margarine in general has a longer shelf life (i.e. the date on the package) than butter. I would assume because it's mostly vegetable oil and has a high water content. Whereas butter is straight dairy.
