In a separate bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture; mix until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; mix until just combined.

Fold in oats, nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
