Ginger, this recipe for Light Spice Holiday Cookies calls for both butter and shortening, but you can use all shortening if you like. It also calls for a small amount of baking powder, which makes the cookies puff slightly without spreading. You're welcome to leave it out if you want to see what a cookie with no leavening is like--it's almost more like a sweet cracker. Have fun experimenting! Kye@KAF
