½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (1 ½ Sticks) butter or margarine, Softened
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla

1 ¾ cups of (I only use white with a few milk choclate chips) Milk chocolate chips, or Semi Sweet, or White, or Butterscotch
1 cup flaked coconut (Toasted if desired)
1 cup chopped walnuts
yeilds about 2 1/2 dozen

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar granulated sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels, coconut and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 11 minutes.
I like it best with the toasted coconut. If you haven't ever toasted coconut before just put it in the oven on broil and watch it closely it will burn fast but stir every few seconds to get the it all toasted.
