Is there a recipe for chocolate crinkle cookies with shortening instead of OIL?

I can't find one. I assume you need oil for the chewiness of the cookie. I just can't get to the store to buy oil, and I'm out.





You know the cookie...rolled in powdered sugar, with a crackled appearance on top, but soft inside?Is there a recipe for chocolate crinkle cookies with shortening instead of OIL?
here is one that I found that calls for butter and not oil





1/2 cup butter


1 1/4 cups granulated sugar


2 teaspoons vanilla


2 eggs


2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled


2 cups all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 tablespoons milk


1/2 cup chopped pecans or other nuts, optional


confectioners' sugar





In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light; add vanilla then beat in eggs and melted chocolate.


Stir in dry ingredients alternately with milk. Stir in chopped pecans. Shape dough into 1-inch balls (stir if necessary to make the dough firmer). Roll balls in confectioners' sugar and place on lightly greased baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350掳 for 14 to 16 minutes, or until cookies are firm in the center. Remove from baking sheets and cool on racks. Sprinkle warm with additional powdered sugar from shaker or sifter, if desired.


Makes about 4 dozen chocolate crinkle cookies. ever





every other recipe I found called for oil alsoIs there a recipe for chocolate crinkle cookies with shortening instead of OIL?
Just use shortening instead of oil or butter/margarine. I use shortening in all of my cookie recipes regardless of what oily ingredient it lists. The shortening makes it a chewier cookie. Yum! I love Chocolate Crinkle Cookies!! :)
Just melt your shortening, it will do the same job.
