butter, margerine for sure, or even oil might work, depending on the recipe.

never used shortening in my life.

I feel when I substitute shortening with margarine it's alot oilier and not one entity anymore.

I would like to substitute Margarine for Criso/shortening in a cookie recipe. Does a/o know the exact substitution?Do I have to add any water etc?reduce amount?
thanx!
