As we found in this post here, shortening behaves slightly different than butter in baking because of its ingredient composition and melting point. That being said, if you enjoy the flavor of butter-flavored shortening, you're welcome to consider giving it a try in some of your favorite recipes to see if you like the results. You can also consider using half butter and half shortening to see if that lands you someplace in the middle: both with nice flavor and texture. Shortening is best in recipes like cookies; butter truly shines in recipes like cake. We hope you find a perfect balance in your baking! Kye@KAF
