Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully combined.
Using a spatula, fold in the chopped orange slice candies and shredded coconut, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Scoop the dough with a tablespoon or cookie scoop and drop onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
