I wouldn't use the olive oil, but the crisco is probably OK!.
Can I substitute Crisco shortening for butter or margarine!?
In general, you can substitute Crisco shortening for butter or margarine in equal amounts!. Not only does Crisco shortening have 50% less saturated fat than butter and 0g trans fat per serving, it gives you higher, lighter-textured baked goods!.
A few exceptions in which you can't substitute: No-bake cookie recipes
Recipes, such as candies and fudge, where butter or margarine is heated/melted and sugar is added/dissolved
Crisco shortening doesn't contain water, so if you want to get the same results as you get with butter or margarine, adjust the water according to the chart below!. (A Crisco cookie with no extra water added is higher and lighter, while a butter cookie is flatter and crispier!.)
Butter/Margarine Substitute
1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/4 cup Crisco shortening + 1-1/2 teaspoons water
1/3 cup butter or margarine 1/3 cup Crisco shortening + 2 teaspoons water
1/2 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup Crisco shortening + 3 teaspoons water
2/3 cup butter or margarine 2/3 cup Crisco shortening + 4 teaspoons water
3/4 cup butter or margarine 3/4 cup Crisco shortening + 1 tablespoon + 1-1/2 teaspoons water
1 cup butter or margarine 1 cup Crisco shortening + 2 tablespoons waterWww@FoodAQ@Com

Crisco is fine, but use 2 TB less than butter!. For Ex: calls for 6 TB of butter, use 4 TB of crisco!. I wouldn't use olive oil!.
