ereks mom 461 Report post Posted October 18, 2008 EK & I were going to bake cookies several days ago, so I took a stick of margarine (not real butter) out of the refrigerator to soften. But we didn't get to bake the cookies that day, nor the next, nor the next... and the margarine is still out on the counter? Is it safe to use in the cookies now, or should I toss it out and start over? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swellmomma 8,345 Report post Posted October 18, 2008 We always left stick margarine on the counter growing up. There is nothing in it to cause it to go rancid etc ont eh counter, it's basically a stick of oil. It is safe to use for your cookies, and your toast and anything else you want to use margarine on.
