Everything you've ever wanted to know about vegetable shortening; its birth from a cotton byproduct, why people use it, why it's called shortening, and whether or not it's going to kill you. Makes about 4 dozen cookies 14 oz package of Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped 3 1/2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups sugar and a dab of molasses (or 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar) 1 cup butter-flavored shortening (or 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup unflavored shortening) 1 cup peanut butter 2 eggs 4 tablespoons milk 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar for coating Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Cream sugar and fats, then mix in all the other ingredients except for the chocolates. Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in a bowl of sugar before placing them on parchment-lined baking sheets. They won't spread much, so you should get at least a dozen per sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until they've spread and started to crack. As soon as you pull them out of the oven, gently press a chocolate into the center of each cookie. As Grandma Sjorstrom says, MAKE EVERY YEAR

Today I learned about shortening AND that cotton seeds could be turned in to oil. Also learned about interesterification. A word I did not know existed merely 6 minutes ago. Today has been an interesting day. Fun fact: Spell check did not know about interesterification either and made a shiny red line beneath it. Today spell check also learned a new word.

Shortening (Margarine) is popular in Israel because Jews who eat only Kosher food don't eat lard plus we don't mix meat and dairy, so we make a lot of desserts without any dairy (so we can enjoy a good cake after big a steak dinner, so we substitute the butter with shortening to make it Parve which kind of means neutral food, no meat no dairy.

Hey Adam, im a big fan of yours and your videos are very educational. Ive learned so mich from you and I think its awesome that you make these kind of videos once in a while because its very interesting and engaging to pay more attention to what you eat. I realy enjoy listening to you and hope that youll keep up the good work

Great video. as always. However can you do one on margarine and soy oil. Here in the Caribbean these are the main fats we use because others such as butter, olive, and coconut oil are very expensive, and despite my research I haven't been able to come up with any definitive answers.

I'm glad I just now discovered what is Shortening, here in Portugal I never heard of it. Probably ate some in processed foods like cookies etc. but there's no such thing as shortening around here, we don't even have a translation of the word

I love the amount of scientific digging you do about seemingly uninteresting ingredients. You made this extremely informative and fun to watch Ps used your recipe to make chicken parmigiana and it was delicious

Everybody just use good old lard. The body knows what it is Publix has it in sticks. Keep it in freezer. Nothing like it for taste, pie dough, biscuits, frying chicken and much more healthy.
