Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes you just have to bake cookies.

It’s been a busy summer. I’m going through some pretty serious life changes—stressful life changes. But as we all know, life never slows down to let us deal with tough situations. The world doesn’t stop spinning just because you need a break.

So sometimes, in the middle of everything, you’re the one that has to stop. Yesterday, in the middle of an afternoon filled with a million other things I was supposed to be doing, that’s just what I did.

Then I baked cookies.

We all need a break sometimes. Stop. Make a cup of tea. Bake yourself a batch of cookies. Go to a movie in the middle of a weekday afternoon.

It’s the times when you feel that it would be impossible to take a break that you should probably do just that.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until well combined. Stir in oats, coconut, and chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets (or line sheets with parchment paper for easier clean-up) and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool for a minute on baking sheet then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

    Sometimes it takes baking cookies to reset and realign. Best wishes to you.

    Made these today and they turned out amazing! I'm baking with a different type of brown sugar because the US type brown sugar is not easily available where I live but they still turned out pretty tasty. Thanks for posting and as someone who recently went through major life changes as well I say keep your chin up... things always get better!

    So sorry to hear about your stress. I'm going through a major low phase too, so the one thing I keep remembering to get me going is that it can't get any lower than this, so life's bound to look up soon!

    Personally, I love adding cherry chocolate chips (usually readily available in grocery stores around V-Day) with the coconut. Very yummy twist :p
