Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray. Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter and shortening in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add to sugar mixture; beat on low speed until well blended. Stir in granola, cranberries and coconut.
