2. Cream together the butter (or Crisco) with the sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, so be patient!

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.

6. Fold in the quick oats, raisins, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.

7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking pan, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading during baking.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The cookies may seem soft when you first remove them from the oven, but they will firm up as they cool.

9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with a tall glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
