Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and combine thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and raisins (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly undercooked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
