[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if the texture is the same, it's likely NOT shortening. Shortening has a different water content than butter and actually results in a cookie with a different texture. [b]One thing that might have happened if they have an odd taste like plastic is if she baked them using those silpat or similar sheets. Sometimes those can cause stuff to taste like plastic, especially if the sheet is new. It's almost like you sometimes have to air them out or wash them in hot water before using them.[/b][/quote] Aren't these baking mats soft and flexible, so they must adsorb what was previously cooked on them, right? I bet this is what happened. Probably used them to roast veggies or bake a pizza, so the cookies were permeated with that flavor.[/quote]
