Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Shredded coconut, unsweetened
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and raisins (if using) with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
