Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the coconut flakes on a cookie sheet. Place into the oven right after you start it and stir every 2-3 minutes until golden brown (and delicious). Let cool completely before adding to dough.
Cream together the butter, coconut oil, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda. You will probably have to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl a couple of times.
Add in the flour until the mixture is fully incorporated and a little on the thick side.
Add the toasted coconut and oatmeal and stir until it looks incorporated. It will likely be very dry (that's what we are going for).
Using your hands, form the dough into the desired shape and size. Press down firmly onto the cookie sheet to desired height (these cookies won't rise or expand like others).
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges just barely start to turn golden brown. These cookies won't go golden like most others, but I promise they will be done right around the 10 minute mark.
Serve warm and enjoy!
