Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

Sometimes Grandma used a combination of half butter and half margarine for these cookies. She said that cookies made with butter usually spread a bit more, resulting in thinner, chewier cookies; and cookies made with margarine usually don't spread as much, resulting in thicker, softer cookies. So she used both, which gave her the best of both worlds.
