Fats: fats are more than just what is on your body... They are aslo something used in cooking/baking. Here is what they do for your baking/cooking product: They tenderize the product by coating and weakening the gluten bonds within the structure. Even though they contain little or no moisture, they provide the illusion of wetness. Fats don’t evaporate or become absorbed with heat like water does. They enable browning. They help move heat through the product, perpetuating the baking process.
