Default Substituting butter for shortening?

It is cookie baking time again! A lot of cookie recipes call for shortening.
But all shortening I am able to find is made from soybean oil or includes
other soy products to which I am allergic. Butter is my only option.

What is the rule for substituting butter in cookies? Is it generally one for
one? Or should I add an extra egg or more flour or more sugar or use less
butter?

Thanks for the help.
