Sh...Oooh yum. I am so going to try this recipe. <br /><br />Shortening (in case no one has enlightened you) is essentially solidified vegetable oil, although you can expand the definition to include any fat that is solid at room temperature. It's used in baking to prevent gluten molecules from cross-linking and becoming too sticky. As an earlier commenter stated, it usually makes for chewier cookies (or biscuits). It's been around since the very early 1900's, and Crisco was invented in 1911. <br />There - now you know more than you ever wanted about shortening!Peggihttp://www.seamstobeyouandme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-67739407468077461422012-01-08T12:09:25.734+11:002012-01-08T12:09:25.734+11:00Gingerbread and white chocolate???

Growing up in NZ, it's biscuit, like the UK. But now, I use biscuit to mean crunchy ones like I grew up with, and cookie to mean soft and chewy ones. Told you I was odd. <br /><br />Oh and when a recipe calls for shortening, I use Stork.<br /><br />I don't do a baking maratho either, but I do a choc and sweet making marathon instead. Last year it was hundreds of chocolate truffles, in 6 different flavours. This year, I'm thinking fudge. Then I parcel them up and hand them out at work, and to my neighbours. Maybe the baking marathon would be saner.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299018618298513874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-52581215042302625862011-12-10T02:35:03.158+11:002011-12-10T02:35:03.158+11:00Yummy looking cookies, Janet!

I get frustrated with mine - while it sometimes threads the fine applique needles, it often ends up cutting the thread instead. And then frequently the needle flies out and off I go hunting for it.

I thought Christmas baking was universal -- I see all the Christmas cakes that aren't really traditional here on a lot of the AU/UK blogs. We do love our cookies -- and lots of them at Christmas. This recipe looks wonderful -- thanks for sharing. I've become a big fan of white chocolate in cookies in the last few years.<br /><br />Oh -- and I NEVER squish my butter into cups -- can't even imagine how I would do it. Our sticks come wrapped in paper and it has measurements on the side. Just cut the amount of butter to the size you need -- easy peasy!!!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-74019868142981325262011-12-10T01:44:00.163+11:002011-12-10T01:44:00.163+11:00Yes, it is funny how words can have such different...Yes, it is funny how words can have such different meanings in different countries.<br />You can buy butter by the block in the US but I prefer the sticks because most times I use them for baking and the measurements on the divided on the paper wrapper around the butter. So much easier.<br />I do not use shortening much but when I do it is an organic non-hydrogenated shortening.<br />You got me curious about why we Americans do so much baking for Christmas and you don't.<br />I looked up one thing on google and I think it is because when immigrants from Europe came to America they brought those traditions with them.

I make lots of cookies and I almost always use butter, but our sticks are premeasured so a stick is 1/2 a cup. I don't actually measure my butter with a measuring cup...but I would measure shortening with a measuring cup. And it does get messy. Personally, I like butter better than shortening. In Amish country we can buy butter in wheels!<br />Great little threader you found there!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101540158088271850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-22351968986120475482011-12-09T23:51:08.666+11:002011-12-09T23:51:08.666+11:00As I sip my morning tea I do believe these cookies...As I sip my morning tea I do believe these cookies would be delicious for breakfast. :o) I haven't started any baking yet.

Butter is a good substitute although it does change the texture a bit. Cookies made with butter tend to be a little more crispy. Cookies made with shortening stay soft/chewy. <br />It's also funny that you mention the measuring mess...Crisco comes in a 3 pound can and you scoop it out and squish it into a measuring cup and yes, it's a messy process! (Crisco did come out with sticks with pre-measured marks on the package awhile ago, but they are pricy)<br />Anyway...I'm glad that you were able to figure out the recipe and enjoyed the cookies!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688785042826378058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-10262099021426304352011-12-09T23:34:59.058+11:002011-12-09T23:34:59.058+11:00The Sewline needle threader is now on my Christmas...The Sewline needle threader is now on my Christmas list.
