yes they will be fine

Yes, you can mix butter and margarine – your cookies will come out fine but the texture and taste will be slightly different from that if you were to use all butter.

Absolutely. But you cannot use soft tub margarine. It must be the block type – like the butter.

Sure you can. Butter is better but both will do.

It will be OK. Spreads usually have salt added to them, though. So if the recipe calls for a little salt, you could negate it. (Just a tip. They will still turn out fine either way.)

Yes, definitely. In fact, I often substitute half margarine/half butter for cookies because I like the flavor of butter but the texture of margarine. Happy baking!

YES
you can use lard If you like or crisco even any oil…
It will cook into the whatever…
