So I have an order for child's birthday tomorrow. I came home from work early and went to the store to purchase fresh ingredients.........i forgot the butter!!!!!

Could I use margarine (imperial)? is it the same measurement? there is a thunderstorm amd i would not want to go out 3ith 3 kids in this.

what are you making? I've only used butter in icing, but many here use margarine instead of butter in cookies. Wish I could be of more help, but if all else fails...just try it and see.

I use the imperial margarine and butter flavoring if you like it. It works just fine for me.

I will use butter all the time in cooking (that's what I grew up with). Now I prefer half marg/butter and all butter in BC but you'll be fine.

There is a lot more water/liquid in margarine than in butter, but if you adjust for that, it should be fine, especially in cookies.
