Default Cookies: Can vegetable spread sub for shortening?

I tried an oatmeal cookie recipe from the book "Monster Cookies"(?),
which required shortening. Since I almost never buy Crisco, I thought
I'd use spread instead. Trouble is, I doubt most people really want
cookies the way those turned out - overly soft and cakelike. Would
Crisco have made a difference? If not, when IS it a bad idea to use a
substitute for shortening?

Lenona.
