Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies

These are seriously the best oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies - crisp on the edges and soft, chewy and gooey on the inside. Plus, they’re quick and easy to make (no chilling required).

A secret step for these cookies is to roughly chop your chocolate chunks. And yes, they must be chunks. Chopping the chocolate gives you a combination of big chunks, shavings, and a fine chocolate powder. The larger chunks will create puddles of melted chocolate while the finer shavings and powder will speckle the dough and give you the best chocolate flavor in every bite.

Watermelon Mint Prosecco Spritz

If a cocktail could taste like summer, it would be this Watermelon Mint Spritz. It’s so refreshing and especially perfect for warm weekend afternoons. Fresh mint is muddled with maple syrup, blended with watermelon, strained, then mixed with a touch of lime juice. It’s topped with a good amount of Prosecco but can easily be swapped for tequila or vodka.

I love this drink because you can easily make the watermelon juice ahead of time. You can even mix the Prosecco in with the juice and freeze it for later for a slushy.
