Can I substitute solidified coconut oil for shortening when making biscuits?

I heard coconut oil is actually healthier than shortening and lard...Anyhow, I want to use the canister of coconut oil that has been sitting in my fridge for 3 months. I used it to make muffins which turned out delicious and moist. I'm wondering if I can do the same for making biscuits.Can I substitute solidified coconut oil for shortening when making biscuits?
YES


I believe they will turn out more bread like than flaky


the shortening keeps the flour separate until baking then it melts into the flour
