Steps:

• Simmer raisins and water in saucepan over low heat until plump for 20 minutes.
• Drain raisin liquid into measuring cup.
• Add water to make 1/2 cup.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.

• Bake for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.  In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.  In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.  Reduce speed to low and add the dry ingredients to the wet, beating just until combined. Fold in 1 cup each of the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut flakes, pecans, and oats. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer with a spatula. Evenly sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup of the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut flakes, pecans, and oats over the batter.  Bake until golden and cookie is baked, tenting with foil during cooking if coconut is browning too quickly, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, then slice and serve.
