Of course you can make cookies with margarine instead of shortening, I do it with all my cookies. When you use margarine you don't need to grease your baking pans, and I think the cookies come out more tasty.
I have used butter instead of shortening in peanut butter cookies and they turned out fine! They were the kind of peanut butter cookies that you put a Hershey's Kiss in the center when they come out of the oven.
well you can put milk shake or juice in place
you can, i have before. Its not as good though.
Tpye it up. Print it. And then glue it on where you want it.
yes but it would need nutmeg to take the Cinnamon's place.
A common nondairy ingredient to use in cookie recipes in place of butter is shortening. It will change the texture of the cookie, usually cookies with shortening will be a little chewier than cookies with butter.
No. Lard is animal fat and shortening is vegetable oil that has been hydrogenated.
The best place to find new cookie ideas are online at various recipe web pages. Many vendors like Betty Crocker and Martha Stewart have several pages, and blogs that have new recipe ideas especially holiday recipes.
Yes, you can. Lard (pork fat), tallow (beef fat) and other rendered animal fats (including bacon fat) originally, until the introduction of vegetable shortening, were called "short fats" or shortening. A result of the rendering process is that the portions of these fats that cannot be rendered are removed, leaving the fat 'short' of these [originally supposed] nutrients. So, yes, any rendered fats can be used in place of vegetable shortening. Keep in mind that the hydrogenation process that produces shortening also produces trans-fats [liquid fats that are processed to mimic the qualities of saturated fats] which are just as bad if not worse than the saturated fats [fats that are solid at room temperature]. You could, if you wanted, use oil in place of the shortening, (never do this for pastries, though) since the shortening melts into the recipe anyways.
One may find holiday cookie recipes in a book at their local library. Another place to look for holiday cookie recipes would be at books in a book store or even online at recipe sites.
yes Shortening is a general term for all fats and oils in cooking. Butter is just one kind of shortening. It has the advantage of a pleasant creamy flavour in cookies and being a natural animal product, melts at body temperature, giving a luxurious mouth-feel as it melts in your mouth.
you don't cook the cookie ON the fire place.
The easiest recipes are often those found on the package for common ingredients, like Crisco shortening. Another good place to find easy recipe ideas is a magazine or booklet devoted to quick and easy cooking.
