from one of my tried and true cookbooks, "Just a Matter of Thyme." i was craving cookies today and these fit the bill and then some. Very yummy!

2 cups flour
1tsp salt
1tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup margarine (i use butter flavored crisco)
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sour cream
1 egg

mix flour, soda and salt together and set aside. cream together the margarine, butter, sugars and vanilla. blend in egg and sour cream until light and creamy. add dry ingredients to creamed mixture until just incorporated, fold in the following:

1 cup chopped nuts (i used pecans)
8 oz broken candy bar (i used a symphony bar)
1 cup shredded coconut

drop by heaping tablespoon on an ungreased baking sheet. bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. watch the edges!! makes about 2-3 dozen.
