Hello everyone, When my mom and I bake chocolate chip cookies we use different type of margarine or butter. We sometimes have our cookies spread out on us and get really crispy and other times they are soft and chewy! I did not know that using butter or margarine could have an affect on how the cookies turn out! Mom usually uses Blue Bonnet, Land o Lakes, or one of the other brands if they are on sale! She usually lets the margarine or butter set out to "soften" a little before we bake our cookies, like most of the directions say to do. The one thing I have not yet tried and want to try is fresh butter, either from a local farm or homemade! I have heard once you use fresh butter you will never go back to store bought again! I just wonder what difference it would make in baking, either in taste or performance?
