Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the coconut.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
