1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c butter, room temperature

1 c light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ c sweetened shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 375. Combine flour, soda and salt. Set aside.

Cream butter on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined; add vanilla. Add the flour mixture all at once and beat on low speed until combined. Add fruit and nuts; beat until combined.

Drop batter 2 heaping tablespoonfuls at a time onto cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Remove from oven and transfer cookies to wire rack to cool thoroughly.
