Switched from butter to shortening in cookies and never looking back
I tried the whole 'brown butter makes everything better' thing everyone raves about. Did a side by side batch last Sunday with the same recipe, just swapped the fat. The shortening batch came out thicker, chewier, and kept their shape way better. Brown butter cookies spread into flat discs every time. Has anyone else tried this and noticed the same thing?

Wait, you're telling me you actually prefer shortening over brown butter?

@quinn161 have you tried crisco in chocolate chip cookies, it fixes the spreading problem completely?
