Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
4 oz. Dark Chocolate (75% to 90% cocoa)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. If using bar chocolate, crush into chips by breaking with hands then placing in bad and crushing with a mallet. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in separate bowl.  In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually blend in the flour mixture, then mix in the coconut. Fold in the crushed dark chocolate chips. Drop dough by tablespoons (or about 1 1/2 inch balls) onto an ungreased cookie sheet or silicone baking pads. Allow room for cookies to spread (about 2 to 3 inches). Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden in color. Cool on wire racks.
