1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and toast until pale golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool coconut on a plate.
2. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and the sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir in the flour mixture and coconut until well combined.
3. Drop by teaspoons about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets and bake on the middle shelves of the oven about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Cool 1 minute on the baking sheet, and then transfer to racks to cool completely. Store, covered, at room temperature about 4 to 6 days.
