If coconut oil does not work well in this recipe, maybe give palm shortening a try. I use coconut oil all the time to replace melted butter, but if the recipe calls for softened butter I found the consistency is definitely different with coconut oil. I've never used palm shortening, but I'm dairy free and just ordered some from Amazon to try instead of butter. It's worth a shot when it comes to living with or without shortbread cookies - healthy ones!
