Can tahini be replaced by vegetable shortening in a cookie recipe?
If it is 1/4 cup or less, however, you can replace 1/2 the amount of shortening with a nut or seed butter. It will alter the taste & may have a strong tahini flavor. Almond butter or raw cashew butter may be more favorable. Some recipies do well with 1/4 cup tahini and no shortening, but replacing half the amount of remaining shortening with applesauce.
