1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup Sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups Flaked Coconut
4 oz. Dark Chocolate (broken into small pieces)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. If using bar chocolate, crush into chips by breaking with hands then placing in bag and crushing with a mallet or rolling pin. 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. 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. Store in airtight container.

I considered drizzling these with melted dark chocolate for a better presentation but was afraid it might be too chocolaty. If you use a less powerful chocolate a drizzle would be a great visual presentation as well as tasty.
