Well, I didn't get around to baking cookies this weekend, but I did make a refreshing pitcher full of Meyer lemonade. The lemon flavor is not overwhelming, and the small amount of sugar cuts the tartness just enough -- personally, I'm not a fan cloyingly sweet lemonade. Add a few springs of fresh mint, and you've got a delicious drink for a spring afternoon.
