No bake cookies? Can I use margarine in my No Bake cookies, and if so how much?
Answers:
No, butter and margarine are not the same. In this recipe, using margarine would be okay. Sometimes, there are some recipes that need to have butter in them. But, yes, margarine would be okay.

You can use margarine or butter.. depends on your recipe.. my own personal recipe is as follows:
2 cups granulated sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) margarine or butter
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/3 cup NESTLé? TOLL HOUSE? Baking Cocoa
3 cups Quaker? Oats (quick or old fashioned*, uncooked)
1. In large saucepan, combine sugar, margarine, milk and cocoa. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue boiling 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Remove from heat. Stir in oats.* Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand until firm. Store tightly covered.
Makes about 3 dozen.
*If using old fashioned oats, cool mixture in saucepan 5 minutes.

Those are my moms favorite cookies, she makes them all the time....good luck
You can but I prefer butter. The difference will be with margarine they won't harden as well. It melts faster than butter and stays softer when refrigerated. Just be sure to keep them cold so they don't lose their shape.
i have not tried to substitute margarine yet. i looked www.cooking.lifetips.com and it said that you can substitute margarine. i'm not sure which recipe you are using. this is the one i have
