I was out with some pastry chefs last night and I was talking about my nerdy experimenting with the snickerdoodles. One of them brought up the fact that shortening helps retain moisture in the cookie, so after a few days it will fare better than butter. I didn’t even take it into consideration!! Damn. Although I think cookies should be enjoyed within one or two days, they do sometimes hang around for a week. So, I’m going to do a 3-day-old cookie experiment (a repeat of the butter vs. shortening grudge match).
