They undoubtedly have baking soda, although they may call it something else. Go to the drug store and ask for bicarbonate of soda. And I'm not a fan of shortening under any circumstances. Lard will give you better results. And believe it or not, lard has more "good fats" than a lot of oils you are probably buying now because of their benefits. Sugar cookies made from lard will blow any crisco variety out of the water any day.
