1/2 tsp. salt
2 pkgs. (4 oz. each) chocolate chunks

Beat butter, sugars, vanilla and egg until light and fluffy. Mix flour with soda and salt; blend in butter. Mix. Stir in chocolate chunks, coconut and nuts. Chill 1 hour. Drop 2 inches apart by heaping tablespoons onto ungreased sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until it browns. Cookies will be soft in center when done.
