No. The Crisco is made from plants. Butter is made from the cream in cow's milk.

Crisco brand is a shortening- or solidified hydrogen-added fat made from vegetable oils .It is flavored to give it he solid fat a buttery scent and impart some degree of butter flavour to your recipes. Butter is a natural product that adds to ones health in terms of calories and vitamin and enzymatic components that the body can use.Shortening has no health benefits whatsoever.It was developed as an alternative to Lard- which is clarified and solidified animal fat usually from rendered beef fat or pork fat. Duck fat is a current fad (2014) and is made from rendering the thick fatty skin on ducks.It is richer than other animal fats and has its own flavour components which are removed from other manufactured lard products .

No, Crisco is solid vegtable fat. It is 100% fat as compared to butter which is about 80% fat with 20% milk solids. Therefore it can be substituted for butter to save on cost but it will compromise the flavour and the results may be oily.

No. Lard is rendered animal fat (the animal fat is cooked down, then cooled and solidified into lard), while Crisco is a vegetable shortening.

According to the product information label, one 12 g serving of Crisco contains 3 g of saturated fat, 0 g of trans fat, 6 g of polyunsaturated fat, and 2.5 g of monounsaturated fat.[4] It is claimed that this reformulated Crisco has the same cooking properties and flavor as the original version of the product."

Can I replace 1 stick of butter in cookies instead of 1 stick of Crisco?

Yes. The cookie texture will be the same, although the taste will not be as buttery. For a cookie with good flavor like oatmeal cinnamon raisin or chocolate chip, you won't notice the difference. You could also use unsalted butter instead of Crisco if you don't have any health concerns about butter. Butter flavoring works, but is a substitute flavoring, and real butter as an ingredient has better flavor than substitute flavorings.

How will a snickerdoodle taste made with crisco?

Slightly greasy, but not with a buttery taste - more of an oily taste. Since crisco has a higher melting point than butter, it does not have the same "melt-in-the mouth" quality - instead it can leave an oily film over your tongue (which is also why crisco or margarine shouldn't be used in butter cream frosting). However, if you want to experiment, it will probably make reasonable "frozen snickerdoodles" (freeze and eat from frozen). Since these will still be cold when you eat them, the oil will not have time to warm up and spread over your tongue.
