While looking through some blogs, I came across a recipe for White Chocolate Pomegranate Cookies on TwoPeasandTheirPod. The recipe looked great, so I decided to give it a try.

The results were wonderful! I have a new favorite Christmas cookie. The outside is crispy and the inside is soft and chewy. Give it a try!

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 lg eggs

2 tsp vanilla

2-1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups old fashioned oats

12 oz white chocolate chips

1 cup pomegranate arils

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla, whip well.

4. Press 5 to 6 pomegranate arils into each cookie. They should look like this:

5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes (mine took 12 minutes and I roated half way through). The edges should be slightly brown. Don't worry if the middle doesn't look done-- it is. Let cool for a few minutes on the pan then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.


Happy Holiday Baking!!
