Cream the margarine in the mixer's work bowl, starting on low speed to soften the margarine. Add the sugars. Increase the speed, and cream the mixture until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed and add the "egg" mixture slowly. Increase the speed and mix until well combined.
Slowly add the flour mixture, scraping the sides of the bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in the carob chips and nuts.
