...sort of. It has to be strictly vegetable shortening, though -- otherwise it usually contains animal fat (lard -- mmmm).

However, vegetable shortening is just like canola oil or dairy-free margarine -- while the ingredients itself do not contain triggers, it can become a trigger by using too much of it. That's the reason why the recipe is unsafe -- 1 cup of shortening would make the cookies way too high in fat.

I use Crisco's all-vegetable shortening. I don't use it terribly often, but I always use shortening to make cake frosting and cookies that call for stick margarine.

There is a recipe for low-fat snickerdoodles in the archive. I haven't personally tried them but they seem to have gotten good reviews. Julie's suggestion is a good one too.
