I can't see that my partner has received her package. I am hoping that it is not too far away. I posted on the 9th November.

Hi Guys,
Now back from the beautiful Maldives in the Indian Ocean to -2 degrees in sunny but cold cold Suffolk. But had a lovely box waiting for me when I got home.... and it states ornaments on the box... so I have been really good and put it aside.
Hugs
Caroline

Nope, not quite the same. Here's an explanation:
Shortening is a vegetarian oil-based product. It is typically a combination of vegetable and palm oils
For this recipe, if you want to substitute, try butter, but it will be a different consistency. Lard is the traditional ingredient, and traditionalists bakers of biscochitos swear that it's the important ingredient that makes these cookies the best. Like I said, I use shortening (Crisco is the brand name), in order to keep it vegan. You can try butter as a substitute. I'd be interested to see what your results look like.

Whenever I use a recipe that calls for shortening, I subsitute with coconut oil. I've never had a problem with it either. I don't know if you have it in Ireland though. Thanks for the recipe, MizMelly!

Thank you MizMelly. One of my daughters is a semi-vegetarian (she eats fish but no other meat). I'm going to give it a go with butter and see how that turns out. As they say if you don't try it, you'll never know.
I love seeing recipes for things that we wouldn't normally have here. The same if anybody wants some traditional Irish recipes let me know and I'll post them for you.

I think I might have seen jars of coconut oil in one of the larger supermarkets, will have a look when I am there next.
Thank you
