There is a new cookbook out called Cookwise: The Secrets of Cooking
Revealed.....It has a section that explains  everything you wanted to know
about chocolate chip cookies and their differing results.  It's an incredible
find if you are not a professional and want to know exactly WHY your recipe
is doing exactly what it is doing.  O think in your case it is because you
are using margerine instead of butter, but that is just from scanning the
section.  It should still be in the "New Releases" section of your bookstore.
