Hi Chloe, we're glad to hear you're baking along with us. The recipe calls for using 1/2 cup vegetable shortening and 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) unsalted butter in the frosting, which helps makes it both buttery and stable at warmer temperatures. However, you can certainly use 1 cup of butter instead. Just note that the frosting may not hold its shape as distinctly without the shortening. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
