1 c. soft shortening, part butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. mashed cooked carrots
2 eggs
2 c. sifted Gold Medal flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. shredded coconut

Mix thoroughly first four ingredients. Sift together and stir in remaining ingredients. Drop about 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake on 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until set, just until, when touched lightly with finger, almost no imprint remains. While slightly warm, frost with lemon or vanilla flavored creamy icing. Makes about 4 dozen 2 inch cookies.
