What happens if you use tub butter instead of stick to make choc chip cookies?

Question

for the person that said i should stick to buying them. Ive beeen cooking for years . I just wanted to know cause all i have is a tub of butter didnt want to run to store for no reason

Answer 1

Assuming that what is in the tub is actually butter, and not margaring (there is a big difference) then nothing as long as the amounts are equal.

Don't forget that Country Crock is margarine spread, not butter.

Answer 2

The recipe calls for quite a lot of butter, so it would be best if you used real butter. The tub spreads and margarine have a lot of oil and water in them. That doesn't work very well for cookies. I would not substitute the butter.

Answer 3

The cookies won't bake properly. Tub butter (margarine) has more water than stick butter (margarine).

Answer 4

If it's pure butter, then you should be fine. If it's margarine, your cookies may turn out badly. For flavour, real butter should always be used in baked goods. Margarine alters the flavour to a degree that I don't like.

Answer 5

I think the stuff in the tube has something added to make it stay soft like vegetable oil or other fat. I would stick with real butter if you want really good cookies.

Answer 6

Do you mean margarine? Because butter doesn't generally come in a tub. Thats usually margarine.

Answer 7

As long as it's the same butter it will do the same thing, though it may be harder to measure. Don't use margerine.



-Butter comes in a tub I have it right now in my fridge.

Answer 8

A veggie is a plant or part of a flower used as food

Answer 9

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Thus as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Answer 10

Works just fine. What ever you do don't try to melt the butter.
