Baking help

Alright, mommas, I need some help. Because of my daughters dairy allergy, I have had to start baking with margarine. I made chocolate chip cookies this morning and they are greasy and completely flat-is there a flour adjustment that needs to be made when using margarine? I pride myself on making "the best" chocolate chip cookies (??) so I am completely disturbed by this. Any suggestions?

Use crisco. The fat holds up better when baked. Margarine is not recommended for baking. If she can tolerate it, butter flavored crisco is even better

Thank you, ladies!

And, Kayla, I can only imagine the frustration. I'm really hoping Harper outgrows this.

Substitute butter or margarine for olive oil or coconut oil. I especially recommend olive oil!!! That distinctive olive oil taste goes away when baking.

1pkg mini muffin cups
3 8oz pkg Cream Cheese, softened
5 eggs
1 1/8 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Best all ingredients until smooth. Pour muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake for 30 minutes at 300F. Do not brown. Remove from oven and the top will indent. Top will small amount of topping. Just enough to fill the indent. Bake for 5 more minutes.

Sour Cream Topping:
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Beat until smooth.

Can also use cherry pie filling as a topping. They freeze super well also.

They're SO delicious and cute.

P.s. it took me forever to type that because of my crazy kids. Sorry!

Try butter flavor crisco. It's what I always use....no butter at all. They are delicious too.

I would love that cheesecake recipe, cwelt. My husband loves cheesecake.

I pride myself most on my lemon pound cake and cranberry bars. Even my husband (who is an amazing baker) says they're better than his. A compliment that is hard to come by. Lol

My MIL swears hers are the best ever. They're rock hard brown hockey pucks. I've won a couple local awards for mine and she's positive it's because she gave me her recipe. Which I spent months revising, changing, and perfecting to the point it's not the same recipe.

My husband is a straight up cookie monster so we bake them about once a week for him and his crew. Nothing keeps firefighters happy like warm chocolate chip cookies!

I also have a recipe for teeny tiny mini cheesecake bites that are ridiculously popular.

Thanks, kdewey and cwelt! I will try both those recipes. I wish we could have a chocolate chip cookie bake off. I've never met anyone who doesn't believe theirs are the best! ?

So I make what people describe as "Chocolate chip cookies on crack" because they're so damned good. I do a half and half of butter and flavored shortening (gross right?) But I have used margarine in a pinch. So here is my alterations.

Normal single batch contains:
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup shortening
1 1/2 cup sugar.

Altered batch:
1/3 shortening
1/3 margarine
1 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup bread flour

I know there is a scientific reason why bread flower works but I can't remember. I actually prefer to bake cookies solely with bread flour if I have it on hand. Anyways, that's what works for me.
