Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

Hello everybody! Lately, I've been obsessing over baking. I think it's because of the cold weather and my constant need to keep busy. While on fall break, I spent a lot of time baking and not a lot of time doing homework. My grades may suffer, but these cookies are totally worth it. There's a ton of yummy ingredients in these cookies like oats, coconut, and of course chocolate chips! Everyone in my family loved these cookies and they were practically gone by the end of fall break. 

Here's what you need:

- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp. milk of your choice
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

Directions:

1. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Beat in each egg and add milk and vanilla. Combine the rest of the dry ingredients and then add in the coconut, oats, and chocolate chips.

2. Drop by tablespoons on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Let cool for a few minutes and place on cookie rack. ENJOY!!

Hope you like this recipe! It's perfect for this time of year.. Just a little twist to the average chocolate chip cookie. How good does this batter look?!




Hope you're all having a good week... If not, make these cookies, they will make you feel better!

Liebster Award

Hello everyone! This week I was nominated to do the Liebster Award by Mads from I'm Looking For Me. This is such a great way to get to know other bloggers and let you all know a bit more about me! I've never done anything like this before, so hopefully I did this right.


Here's how this works:

1. Link back to the person who nominated you.
2. Answer the 10 questions your nominator gave you.
3. Nominate 10 other blogs with 10 other questions.
4. Comment on your nominee's blog with a link back to your post.

The questions Mads asked me are:

1. What is your favorite makeup brand?

There are so many options! My favorite makeup brand is probably Urban Decay. I always find myself splurging on their eyeshadow palettes.

2. If you could go anywhere tomorrow, where would you instantly go?

Home. I am at college and I desperately miss my family and my queen sized bed. I haven't been home in over two months, but thankfully fall break is next week so then I will have plenty of time to relax.

3. When did you start blogging and what made you start?

I started officially blogging about a year ago. It started out as a way for me to do something creative and non-school related during my first year at college. I'm traveling abroad to Rome in a few months, so I want to be able to document my travels and just my life in general. I also love reading other people's blogs and watching content creators on youtube. People like Zoe Sugg, Louise Pentland, and Troye Sivan are huge inspirations to me.

4. If you could talk to a younger version of yourself, what would you say to her.

I would tell my younger self to stop worrying so much. Things like grades, boys, and how much you weigh do not define what kind of person you are.

5. What is one makeup item you couldn't live without?

Anastasia Brow Gel.

6. What is the last song you listened to?

Bridges by Broods.

7. Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what is it?

I can eat a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's in one sitting.

8. Books or movies?

I love reading, however I haven't read anything for pleasure lately so I'd have to say movies. My mom and I are obsessed with Mamma Mia!

9. Where is your favorite place to eat out?

At school I usually go out to Chipotle. But when I'm home with my family I love going out for sushi; we have a couple really good Japanese restaurants in Grand Rapids.

10. What is on top of your beauty wish list?

This list is never-ending. But if I had to pick one thing it would be the NARS sheer glow foundation.

I nominate:

1. Ashley from Ashley Laura Beauty
2. Esme from Esme Madeline
3. Blaze Ann from p31beauty
4. Alison from Beauty & Blazers
5. Katy from Top Knots and Jots
6. Charlotte from Charlotte B Harris
