Crisco was initially, and still is, used as an alternative to regular shortenings such as butter and lard. A recipe calling for Crisco in baking should respond perfectly well to the use of identical quantities of butter, which will also give an excellent flavour.
You should try to use baking powder instead of baking soda, if that's not the problem try using about 2/3 cup of oil instead of 1 stick of margerine or butter or chill your dough for about 2 hours before you bake the cookies. you could also use more butter.
Baking-wise it will work,but the butter may taste better.

No. Olive oil has a distinct flavor. If you need to substitute butter you should use margerine or shortening
