Oatmeal Raisin Coconut Cookies

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until fully incorporated. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating only until just combined. Add the oats, raisins, and coconuts; stir them in using a spatula or wooden spoon to avoid breaking the ingredients up too much.

Using a regular-sized ice cream scoop, scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Put 7 cookies on each sheet, with 3 rows of 2 and 1 placed at the bottom of the sheet in the middle.

Bake cookies until they have spread, are golden brown around the edges, and a still very soft to the touch, about 20 minutes, rotating halfway through if necessary. Do not panic if the cookies are still tall mounds at the halfway point, they will even out by the end of the baking process. Cool completely on pans.

Cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen, wrapped in parchment paper and foil, placed in a zipper bag for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature for a couple of hours.
