I had a stroke and am paralyzed on the left side, but that doesn't stop me from doing something I enjoy doing, "baking" for Christmas I bake cookies, (over 120 doz) for neighbors and friends. I always use butter and because baking so many all the ingredients are fresh and after the first batch is baked then you can adjust time/temp if need be. This past Christmas I made close to a 100 doz mini cupcakes, (6 different varieties) all made with butter. The only time I use solid shortening is to get a crisp or extremely fluffy item.
