Forgot to add Margarine to Cookie mix?!


Question: Forgot to add Margarine to Cookie mix?
I was baking cookies today, (with margarine instead of butter) had sugar, eggs, shortening, baking soda, vanilla etc. And it wasn't until after I made the mix I realized I forgot the margarine?
What will the cookies turn out like ? =/

Answers:

They will be tough and chewy. Not nice at all.

Take one quarter of the cookie dough and add one quarter of the margarine to it stirring well until you can't see any more of the marg. then test one cookie, just make one on a baking sheet and bake it at the usual temperature and time and then cool it and eat a sample. If it is good then do the rest of the recipe and add the margarine - but do it in batches.

Most recipes call for creaming the fat with the sugars and eggs.... gapped out are we? When I was 13 I baked a cake for my birthday and I forgot to cream the butter with the sugars and the cake was bouncy - I dropped a piece of it on the floor and it bounced like a rubber ball... too awful and cool at the same time. A waste of time and ingredients. Make sure you read a recipe and assemble all the ingredients before you start. Better luck next time. Don't give up.

Oh yeah they'll be horrible unless you add the butter. It will be hard to add it to a complete cookie dough but if you make sure its room temp=fairly soft it might stir in ok. You might as well try it because it will be crap if you don't get some kind of fat into it.



You need some form of fat in there. Butter, oil, lard, margrine. Most cookies have, sugar, butter, salt, flour, vanilla.. I wouldn't eat them.



Add oil, unless they're cooking already.
They may be hardish.

Just make sure you slap a load of buter on them soon as they out, and make sandwiches



Probaly flat andhard

Experience



Probably not so good....you could have still mixed the margarine in if you didn't already put them in the oven. Or start over
