It will make your food taste spoiled. I did it with some cookies not paying attention to the expire date and they had this awful aftertaste. They baked and looked the same way and the shortening didnt have a smell but the taste was not a good one.

What can you use in place of vegetable shortening?
You can use Butter, Margarine, or Lard. These will give you about the same result as using vegetable shortening. Vegetable shortening is pure fat so lard will be a good substitute, butter and margarine have water in them you will need to use a little more and if used in baking they won't produce a crust that is as flaky as shortening would. If you are looking for a healthier/low fat substitution try googleing food substitutions for vegetable shortening. Using certain fruits like apple sauce, bananas and many others as a substitution can work but a very very lesser degree.Clarification:Using butter, margarine or lard will not generally give the same results as using shortening. Shortening is made from hydrogenated vegetable oil, such as soybean oil, butter is made from cream, and margarine is made from various fats and liquids.In some recipes that call for butter or shortening, you can use margarine, but since margarine has a higher water content than butter or shortening, it's not a good idea to use margarine in foods that require a crisp, flaky texture, such as pie crust.
