What is 'shortening'? I don't know if I can get all those ingredients from Woolworths.

Shortening is just butter.

Just use margarine. It ends up tasting pretty much the same anyway.

Isn't shortening more like ghee? Like clarified butter?

Absolutely no idea. I used butter in mine and they were delish!

I looked it up on Wikipedia. Shortening is a cooking fat with a higher burning point than margarine or butter. The most popular brand is Crisco.
I'm starting to think it's like that ghee stuff. Eeeww

I bought the ingredients today so I should be snickerdoodling soon. It was funny, mum and I were trying to decide which ingredients could be substituted because she only had $10. We got imitation vanilla because real vanilla was too expensive.
