Many organized incorporated territories of the United States existed from 1789 to 1959 (the first being the Northwest and the Southwest territories, the last being the Alaska Territory and the Hawaii Territory), through which 31 territories applied for and were granted statehood.
Considerations When Choosing an Extract Substitution. If you only need 1/4 teaspoon of extract, you can substitute just 2 drops of a similar flavored oil instead of the extract. Many extracts substitute well for each other, like almond extract instead of vanilla extract or lemon extract instead of lime extract.
If you want to get the best of both worlds â buttery flavor, but tenderness too â use a combination of butter and shortening. Don't, however, substitute butter with shortening in cookies like shortbreads or sugar cookies, where butter really is a key flavoring.
