1 stick butter
1/2 c. vegetable shortening
3 tbsp. sugar
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. flaked coconut

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly and form 2 rolls. Wrap in wax paper. Chill until they can be sliced neatly - 1 1/2 hours or more in freezer, or overnight in refrigerator. Slice about 1/4 inch thick, place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
