Chewy Coconut Cookies

I had some coconut leftover from making the icing for the German Chocolate cake that I made for my BIL's birthday so I decided to make cookies.  They were delish!

Chewy Coconut Cookies

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/3 cups flaked coconut 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Combine flour, salt, and baking soda; set aside. 

In a medium bowl cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. 

Gradually stir in the flour mixture; then add in the coconut. 

Drop dough by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. 

Bake 8-10 minutes until lightly toasted. 

Cool on wire racks.
