• 1/2 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine flour, baking soda, and salt then set aside.  In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.  Beat in the egg and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Gradually blend in the flour mixture, then mix in the coconut.  Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted.  Cool on wire racks.
