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.

Can you use butter instead of shortening?
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.
