Yes, you can substitute lard or shortening for butter or vegetable oil in cookies, as long as you realize the resulting cookies will not have a buttery taste. Crisco has a butter flavored shortening that works and tastes quite well, although you might consider the health risks of the partially hydrogenated oils in any shortening. Lard is a fine substitute, with good flavor results. You can also replace the butter flavor with additional vanilla or other flavor extracts.
no
You can use either-I personally prefer butter. ............. Butter gives a better flavor to the cookies and does not have the unhealthy partially hydrogenated vegetable oils that are in shortening.
Vegetable oil and butter are two types of shortening. All fats and oils are shortening, and can be substituted for each other, but this will affect the flavour and texture of the food, as some shortenings have stronger and different flavours, and also have different melting points.
Yes, you can. There are recipes for oatmeal cookies that call for vegetable shortening instead of margarine or butter.

No, not usually. If your looking for a substitute try vegetable oil, it's way better!More information:No, peanut butter does not have the same percentage of fat as butter which is nearly all fat. Vegetable oil works well in some recipes, but will not give cookies the distinctive flavor of butter. Also, oil will give some cookies, such as shortbread, a different texture than they would have when made with butter.
