These salted chocolate slice and bake cookies are my go to when I want something homemade without the fuss. The dough comes together in just 15 minutes, then you can refrigerate it and bake fresh cookies whenever you want, which makes them perfect for busy weeknights. The combination of salted chocolate chips with flaky sea salt creates this amazing sweet and savory balance that's so addictive. Plus, the brown sugar in these cookies contains molasses, which gives you a bit of extra minerals and a deeper flavor than regular sugar. Trust me, once you master this recipe, you'll be making it constantly.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Use a light-colored parchment paper for a better cookie color.
- 2
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and confectioner's sugar in a medium bowl.
Tip: Sifting helps incorporate air and ensures even baking.
- 3
Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
- 4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Tip: Don't overbeat, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- 5
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.
Tip: Stir until smooth and glossy.
- 6
Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Tip: The dough should still be slightly lumpy.
- 7
Stir in the melted chocolate and flaky sea salt until well combined.
Tip: Be gentle to avoid developing the gluten.
- 8
Scoop the dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons each, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Tip: Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- 9
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even cooking.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
Tropical Quinoa
This tropical quinoa bowl has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just forty minutes and tastes like a mini vacation on a plate. Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients since it's a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, making it so satisfying and perfect for keeping energy levels steady. The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt
This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in just ten minutes flat. Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt is that perfect balance of impressive and effortless, with tangy Greek yogurt and zingy preserved lemon creating a sauce that feels restaurant quality but tastes like home. The seabass gets beautifully golden and flaky while the freekeh provides substantial whole grains packed with fiber and protein. It's the kind of meal that makes you feel like you're treating yourself without any fuss.
