COCONUT-PECAN COOKIES
This is a buttery coconut-pecan cookie. The crunch comes from the pecans and coconut, but the cookie itself is chewy. I do not add salt to this recipe, as I think with salted butter enough salt is present.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. In another mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars until creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fluffy. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in the coconut and pecans. Lightly cover the bowl of dough and put in the freezer for about 20 minutes. (Rolling into balls will be easier.) Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until set. They will look a bit undercooked and won't be brown. (If you bake them until they begin to brown, the cookies will turn out crispy instead of chewy.) Let stand on baking sheet for 1 minute, then carefully transfer cookies with a flat metal spatula to a wire rack to cool. Note: These cookies spread out to almost flat when they bake, that's the way they should be because they don't have any baking powder in them. *Most flaked coconut has long strands that I didn't want in the cookies so I pulsed it in the food processor using the steel blade until desired size.
