F. and about 0. 2% to about 11. 6% at 85. degree. F. The preferred fats are partially hydrogenated soybean oil, partially hydrogenated cotton seed oil and mixtures thereof. The fats further have an oleic acid content of about 52% to 62% and a combined linolenic acid and gadoleic acid content of 1. 2% or less. The cookies exhibit similar color, taste and texture to control samples made with lard without experiencing any fat bloom.
