Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, desiccated coconut, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the honey, rice malt syrup, and vanilla extract.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water, then add this mixture to the melted butter and syrup mixture, stirring to combine.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each portion for spreading.
Gently press down the tops of the cookies with a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
