When the cookie recipe calls for "soft shortening"
Do you reach for butter or something else? What determines your
choice? I believe butter affords a crispier cookie - yes? |

To me, shortening means Crisco and butter means butter or margarine unless the butter is specifically stated as "do not substitute." (I haven't used margarine in a year or two, fwiw; I have used Crisco.) -- Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ Holy Order of the Sacred Sisters of St. Pectina of Jella "Always in a jam, never in a stew; sometimes in a pickle."

Some folks keep their Crisco in the fridge I think, so soft would mean it's no refrigerated?? Otherwise, I have no clue ;> Sky -- Ultra Ultimate Kitchen Rule - Use the Timer!

I've always used butter in my cookies, but I think Crisco makes a crisper cookie. Personally I prefer better tasting over crispier anyday! John Kuthe... |

Some of the old cookie recipes call for lard. I'd have to think about which cookies I might possibly want that slight flavor in. (I do like it in Chinese egg tart crusts.) Otherwise, I use butter. I confess that I used some shortening when I was a mere child, but I haven't done so for decades. -- Jean B. |

Plus, Crisco is extremely unhealthy, and it kills stupid people, but almost always after they're past breeding age, so it does nothing to help the gene pool. > > > John Kuthe... > > Some of the old cookie recipes call for lard. *I'd have to think > about which cookies I might possibly want that slight flavor in. > (I do like it in Chinese egg tart crusts.) *Otherwise, I use > butter. *I confess that I used some shortening when I was a mere > child, but I haven't done so for decades.
