Tried baking cookies with butter vs margarine last night
Made two batches of chocolate chip cookies side by side - one with real butter and one with margarine. The butter ones came out flat and burnt on the edges while the margarine ones actually held shape and didn't turn into charcoal. Anyone else find margarine easier to work with for baking?

Did you chill the butter dough before baking? That usually helps keep them from spreading too much.

Wait, you're telling me people DON'T chill their butter dough before baking? Ngl that's wild to me. I always stick mine in the fridge for at least an hour, sometimes overnight if I'm feeling lazy. Honestly the only time I skip it is if I'm in a rush and then I regret it every single time because they turn into flat little pancakes.
