- Cream together the brown sugar, butter, and white sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth.

- Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, walnuts (if using), and coconut until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes for a chewy cookie, or 14 minutes for a firmer cookie.
