If one forgets to put shortening in dough, the results depend entirely on what type of dough the batch was supposed to be. Breads are often formulated without oil or shortening; the bread would probably be edible, but dryer than it should be. On the other hand, pie dough and many cookies made without the required shortening would turn into inedible messes.
