Cookie Ingredients Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature ingredients (butter, shortening, eggs) will help you get the best results when baking these cookies.Butter is at room temperature at 65°F.Don’t put it in the microwave to soften it; simply cut it up into small pieces and let it sit out if you forgot to take it out of the refrigerator.
Shortening: Shortening (hydrogenated vegetable oil) is any fat or oil that is solid at room temperature.If you have heard of or seen a big can of Crisco, that is shortening.It can be stored at room temperature and has a long shelf life.
Because shortening is all fat, it is hard to make substitutions.If you do have to substitute for shortening, your best bet is lard because it is also 100% fat.If using lard in place of shortening, use 2 tablespoons less of lard for every one cup of shortening.
Cornstarch: Using cornstarch keeps the large cookies together, but still soft.Chocolate: We found that milk chocolate was the best option for a Twix-inspired cookie, but you can use semi-sweet in a pinch. S
