What is the difference between the following objects: butter, oil, margarine, and lard; when baking cookies?

Me and my friend are doing a science project and are trying to think of good substitutes for shortening.What is the difference between the following objects: butter, oil, margarine, and lard; when baking cookies?
Anyone of these will work but it wont taste as good and have the best texture as it does when you use butter.


You can also use applesauce as a substitute.What is the difference between the following objects: butter, oil, margarine, and lard; when baking cookies?
Tempature to burning point, color


why trans fat freaky stuff.??
I really don't know about substitutes....but clearly ';Butter'; tastes sooooo much better than the others mentioned.
Margarine has about 1/3 less fat then butter but you can't really tell the difference in the cookies while lard is much more fattier and makes the cookies thicker and taste different. Oil is pretty much the same as margarine and butter but in liquid form. Though the lard and oil kind of burn faster. Butter, margarine, and oil are very good things to use.
