Instructions

Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth and light.
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Add vanilla extract and mix well.
Add flour, oatmeal, and baking soda to the batter and mix until just blended.
Fold in coconut flakes, seeds or nuts, raisins or other dried fruit, and chocolate chips.
Refrigerate the batter for 1 hour to solidify the batter and to meld flavours. Preheat oven to 360*F.
Drop batter by teaspoonful onto buttered cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading

Notes

If you prefer a chewier cookie add 1 egg yolk to the batter as you are adding the 3 eggs. The extra fat from the egg yolk increases the chewiness of the cookies.
