Wow, you guys are just KILLING my diet this summer! Will have to try these. Question: Why shortening v. a full cup of butter?
Shortening prevents spread, and adds crispy/crunchiness. Substitute 1/3 cup butter for the 1/2 cup shortening if you like - the cookies will be different texture, but still yummy. PJH
