[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There are lots of baking recipes that substitute shortening, do a mix of shortening and butter, or use oil or another fat, in lieu of butter. There are lots of reasons someone might do that, from the cost of butter to wanting to experiment to simply being short on something needing to use a substitute.[/b]

You are loading a TON of obnoxious judgment into your assessment of free cookies though. Maybe now that I have answered your question for you, we should use this thread to "sus out" what psychological damage or impairment is causing you to do this.[/quote]

Using shortening or margarine sticks instead of butter in cookies is being a cheapskate.[/quote]

You know nothing about baking. There are specific advantages to shortening. People who bake know this. To assume it's about cheapness is just stupid. I make certain cookies with shortening and you wouldn't know it. I'd bet she didn't have enough butter or maybe her butter was a bit rancid. If you leave it sitting out too long to soften it can affect the taste.

What kind of person would assume this?  Tell us more about yourself op. [/quote]
