I wouldn't because shortening is made of butter and water, so i would use milk.
I tried this in my cookies and they turned out not too oily and not too sweet. If you are high on sugar and want to use it, then go for it!
ANSWER: Shortening is a semi-solid fat (such as Crisco) that can be made of animal or vegetable derivation. It tends to give a softer finish to baked goods than butter does, and can usually be substituted in any recipe. I would not recommend using it for shortbread, however. Butter is best for that.
