Butter, margarine, lard, oil
shortening = vegetable shortening Notes: Crisco is a popular brand. Substitutes: butter (1 cup shortening = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter; butter is better tasting than shortening but more expensive and has cholesterol and a higher level of saturated fat; makes cookies less crunchy, bread crusts more crispy) OR margarine (1 cup shortening = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons margarine; margarine is better tasting than shortening, but more expensive; makes cookies less crunchy, bread crusts tougher) OR lard (1 C shortening = 1 C - 2 tablespoons lard; lard has cholesterol and a higher level of saturated fat) See also: fat (for low-fat or no-fat substitutions)
Found this tip also:
You can substitute mayonnaise for part of the shortening in your baking recipes. It adds moistness and makes for a tender texture. Be careful though. Try using half mayo and half shortening at first.

Shortening is a form of fat... solid at room temerature. Shortenings are made from vegetable sources and hydrogenated (BAD for you). So I have always used oil as it's substitute ever since finding out. Shorting is a liquid that is forced thru science into a semisolid and when eaten, your body doesn't know what do to with the partially hydrodenated oil, and it just sits in your body for ever more.
Pick oil any oil or real butter. Vegetable, olive, safflower, canola... any one you prefer, but I now use olive which is the best for you.

Generally just butter. However, there are some recipes which will suggest you substitute either mayonaise, or for a low fat option, applesauce. However, I don't know that these substitutions would work in ALL situations.
