Because they have cookie magic. :)
Shortening is the lesser of two evils as an ingredient in cookies. It is an acceptable, but not desirable, substitute. Taste and texture are sub-optimum. Lard tends to give cookies an unusual texture, too flaky. Even cutting lard with shortening will not help greatly. However, butter is by far the ideal ingredient to supply the fat in cookies.
No, making this substitution is not advisable. Lard will give your cookies a strange flavour and texture.
Grandma' s brand cookies are made by Frito-Lay. They are made by professional bakers and paid employees in one of the Frito-Lay factories.
hard but seasoned like my grandmas cookies
well when their grandmas baked cookies for them the cookies fell in the ocean and so they were all out there trying to get the cookies then the coast came to rescue them cause they were drowning from eating and swimming
yes you can use margarine, but a better replacement would be lard.
no grandmas cannot lay eggs!
Yes, you can substitute lard or shortening for butter or vegetable oil in cookies, as long as you realize the resulting cookies will not have a buttery taste. Crisco has a butter flavored shortening that works and tastes quite well, although you might consider the health risks of the partially hydrogenated oils in any shortening. Lard is a fine substitute, with good flavor results. You can also replace the butter flavor with additional vanilla or other flavor extracts.
Not all grandmas have anger issues, but some may have them.
there is your grandmas cat and wild cats there is your grandmas cat and wild cats
Vegetable lard does not exist, its an oxymoron. So animal lard;)
