Substituting margarine for crisco in cookie recipe?

Hi...does anyone know if you can substitue margarine oz for oz for crisco in cookie recipes? Thank youSubstituting margarine for crisco in cookie recipe?
You absolutely can. Butter or Butter-flavored margarine are going to change the flavor a bit, but who doesn't like buttery flavored cookies?? Only thing I'd say is Crisco is thicker than butter or margarine. If you subsitute margarine, it might cause your cookies to spread more in the oven, resulting in a wider, flatter (and thus, crispier) cookie. I'd recommend chilling the cookie dough in the refrigerator for an hour or two before baking, and that shouldn't be a problem. Happy baking!Substituting margarine for crisco in cookie recipe?
Every thing said above is true. In addition to adding more liquid to your recipe, margarine will also add more salt. The preferred substitute by most bakers is unsalted butter. It will not change your recipe except to make the cookies taste buttery.



You can, just watch that first batch to make sure they bake the same way. Margarine has more water then Crisco so you may need to add an additional 1/2 cup of flour.
yes you can but margarine and crisco do not taste as good as butter. You could use butter, margarine or crisco.
yes you can, you can also use applesauce to make it healthier and adds a little more flavor
