Marsha, it's posted on a different site- Here's the recipe:

(Some of mine fell apart when removing from the pan, but apparently I was the only one with that problem).

CHOCOLATE CHUNK MACADAMIA COCONUT COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Hershey's)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt (I used 1/2 tsp)
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar (I used 3/4 cup)
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (I used 3/4 cup)
2 large eggs, room temp
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 - 2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks (I used a scant 2 cups Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts, unsalted (I used 1 cup coarsely chopped almonds)
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, soda, salt and set aside.
3. Cream together butter and sugars until smooth.
4. Add the eggs and mix well.
5. Add the chocolate, milk and vanilla and mix well.
6. Add the dry ingredients and beat well.
7. Stir in chocolate chunks, nuts and coconut.
8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion.
9. Bake for 8-10 minutes. (I baked 10 - 11 minutes).
10. Cool on the sheets for 1 minute then remove to a rack to cool completely. (I let cool about 5 minutes - otherwise the cookies fall apart).

36-48 cookies (I made 48 cookies).
