How does the amount of butter affect cookies?

Fat. Shortening and butter make cookies tender. It can also affect the texture of a cookie. Butter has a lower melting point than shortening or margarine, causing it to spread more during baking, so a cookie made with butter will be thinner and crisper than the same cookie made with shortening or margarine.
