    Preheat oven to 400 degrees and adjust oven rack to center position. Line a few cookie sheets with parchment paper.

    Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl, whisk it together and set aside; in another small bowl mix together oats, wheat bran, and coconut and set aside.

  3. 03

    In the bowl of standing mixer, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, softened butter, and vanilla; beat at medium speed until creamy, about 1 ½ -2 minutes. Add eggs and beat for 30 seconds. Scrape bowl down.

  4. 04

    Add flour mixture and mix on low for 10 seconds.
