Can you use butter instead of shortening in peanut butter cookies?
Yes you may, a VERY softened room temperature butter. Making sure your eggs are also at room temp will give great volume to your cake. I am not sure of the baking time, so the last 5 minutes, be aware to keep an eye on the oven contents. Know that butter substitutes (spreads) are not the same as using butter. Many of those are prepared as WHIPPED and/or have additional liquid (such as water) added to them. This answer given is strictly for BUTTER, not a SPREAD.

What happens to pastry if it has too little fat?
there are a couple of reasons that you should use butter when it's called for in a recipe. for one, butter has water content and milk solids, it is not just fat. when you are using butter for a pastry crust, the water in the butter evaporates and creates tiny pockets in the dough and that's how you get a really nice flaky crust. the milk solids and milk sugars in the butter help brown whatever it is that you are baking, and give it that caramel-y baked flavor. Also the high fat content in butter leaves your pastry more tender, more moist, and well: fat just makes everything taste better. Low fat spreads just aren't a functional substitute for butter when it comes to pastry. one thing to note though is that crisco does have a place in pastry. for cookies especially, if you use crisco your cookies will be rounded, taller, and less spread out than cookies made with butter, which will leave you with flatter, crispier, spread out cookies. hope this helps!
If you want to make chocolate peanut butter cookies but run out of peanut butter what else can be substituted?
For most chocolate peanut butter cookie recipes, it is acceptable to substitute the peanut butter with soy butter or another nut-based butter such as almond butter. An example of branded butter that would work well with the recipe is Nutella, which is also appropriate for those who would otherwise not be able to eat the cookies due to peanut allergies.
How come cookies spread too much in the oven?
To prevent cookies from spreading too much in the oven, keep the dough chilled until right before they are baked. Also, make sure you are using what they ask for in the recipe. For instance, some margarines are oily and will melt and spread thin much quicker than butter.
