Preheat the oven to 350*F.

Combine the cherries and whiskey in a measuring cup or small bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Sift together that flour, salt and baking soda, then stir into the butter mixture until incorporated. Mix in the oats.

Drain the cherries. Stir the cherries, chocolate chips, and coconut into the dough.

Line two baking sheets with a silicon mat or parchment paper. Drop the cookie dough onto the sheets by the tablespoonful, leaving about an inch in between each cookie.

Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the centers are set and the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the baking sheets.
