It makes them taste yummy. Vanilla is another ingredient that I never go cheap on. Artificial, yuck. Real bourbon vanilla? Yum. I am all about using real butter when I bake cookies.

However, I have been using the new shortening that's fully hydrogenated. I use it mainly for pie crusts, but the women in my family also swear by a 1/2 and 1/2 blend of butter and shortening for drop cookies. The butter just tastes better, but the shortening keeps the cookies softer and shapelier. Heather, I TOTALLY agree with the last 2 sentences!
