These are probably the best cookies I've ever made. I mean, you really can't go wrong with strawberry and white chocolate! As with most of my DIY tutorials and recipes, these are incredibly easy and quick to make. Prep and bake time combined is only about 20 minutes. So these are perfect if you have a short attention span like me, or you're just pressed for time.  

Ingredients: 

Strawberry cake mix

2 cups white chocolate chips

2 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 TSP baking powder

1/2 TSP vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Combine cake mix, eggs, oil, baking powder, and vanilla in a large bowl and mix until no dry cake mix is visible.

3. Mix in the chocolate chips. 

*If you're using a KitchenAid mixer, use the wisk attachment to mix ingredients, and the beater attachment to mix in the chips (attachments are pictured below).

4. Place 1" cake balls an inch or so apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

5. Allow the cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes, then remove them from the cookie sheet.

6. Pour a glass of milk and enjoy your delicious cookies!

I saw this recipe on Pinterest a while back, and just had to give it a try and share my experience. I've been eating watermelon all summer... I looove it! My husband, however, doesn't like it at all for some weird reason! So I've had to come up with recipes here and there to help keep some of it from going to waste. This one was a perfect way to use up some of the melon that I couldn't finish before it went bad! The only difference between the recipe I found and my version of it is that the other called for a sprig of mint. I didn't have mint leaves and didn't feel like going to the store. Instead, I opted for a drop of peppermint essential oil and it worked just fine. If you choose this method, my advice is to only use one tiny drop for the entire recipe because it can be pretty strong. 

Simple ingredients:

3 cups of watermelon chunks

1 lime 

1 cup of coconut water

A sprig of mint or 1 drop of mint oil

Ice (optional)

Simple Directions:

1. Place watermelon chunks, coconut water, a squeeze of lime, and mint into a blender.

2. Blend on low setting for 30 seconds.

3. Garnish, add ice (if desired), and enjoy!

*Tip - Chill ingredients before blending, and skip the ice for a refreshing (non-watered down) beverage!
