Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat butter, sugars, vanilla and egg with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Gradually stir in flour, baking soda and salt by hand.
Step 4: Add coconut and cashews, either stirring or kneading with your hands depending on how stiff the batter is. If batter is too stiff to work with, add up to 1/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 5: Drop by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Step 6: Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes (until edges are golden brown); let cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then move to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 7: *Watch them carefully! There is a fine line between lightly browned edges and completely burned bottoms.
