Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Using a spatula, fold in the rolled oats and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies with milk, coffee, or tea, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
