Melt butter and mix into sugars.  Add egg and vanilla until creamy.  Add four, oats, baking soda & salt to an even consistency.  Add coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts until mixture resembles bowlful of wet granola bar.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart  and bake at 350* for about 10 to 12 minutes (depending on oven).  After cooling, cookies should have crisp edges and a soft center.
