No. Every recipe says quality butter and I don't think margarine would work well overall. -- nm

this page has some ideas (like using bread flour and melted butter instead of all-purpose) -- (link*) - decline Jan 30, 06:31 4
- also the oven temp noted there is probably key - and since ovens really vary wildly in the temps you may need to play with that a lot -- nm - decline Jan 30, 06:33 3
  - I was thinking the temp or oven could be the issue -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:44 2
    - it really could be - if you're oven runs hot it'll make the cookies set faster which will prevent spread -- nm - decline Jan 30, 06:46 1
      - I'll drop the temp down next time and see if that helps -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:58
but would it be flatter? I don't know. -- nm - Pippy - puppet make up artist Jan 30, 06:27 6
- Margarine has a lower melting point so in theory would flatten them out more. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 06:49 4
  - I'm willing to give it a try but I worry they won't taste as good -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:59 3
    - (they won't - margarine is icky) -- nm - decline Jan 30, 07:08 2
      - I use it all the time. Usually get the canola/olive mix. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 07:19
      - I haven't touched the stuff in decades but I'll try anything to get the cookies right. I'll go with lower temp and/or different flour - Krusty Jan 30, 07:10
- Hmmm -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 06:44
