Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and nuts (if using). If you like an extra crunch, add the cornflakes.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
