Another cookie question

helllo!
thank you. I just wanted to ask another thing
if I used margarin instead of butter, would those dry the cookies out too?
I tried the sugar cookie recipe again today... and I only cooked them 8 minutes.. the cookies didn't brown at all.. they...

were just white. they were soft but tasted bland.
any help?
thanks a bunch

You can use margarine in place of butter - it shouldn't make the cookies dry. Keep in mind though, that sugar cookies do have a slightly dry texture - they're not naturally moist like chocolate chip.

If you find them bland, try adding a little more vanilla or maybe even almond extract or cinnamon...you can sprinkle the tops with extra sugar also.

I always use margarine... because once I used butter my cookies came out really hard!!.. and if your doing sugar cookies you need to mix the dough really good try using your hands if its not that goooeeeyyy...

the best way to make cookies. would be with unsalted butter.. the real stuff that comes in sticks.. the best for baking.. not margarine.. it makes cookies fall apart and hard.. ..
