What goes into the cookies?
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened to room temperature.
- Organic cane sugar, or granulated sugar.
- Light brown sugar.
- Pure vanilla extract.
- All-purpose flour.
- Baking soda.
- Salt.
- A box of vanilla pudding mix. This is key to extra moist and chewy cookies!
- Fresh pomegranate seeds.
- White chocolate chips.
- Chopped pecans.
Prepping the cookies
The dough for these pomegranate cookies comes together very easily with a hand mixer. Simply cream the sugars and butter with vanilla, then add the dry ingredients and mix-ins.
Note: The cookie dough will seem a bit dry. Never fear- after a few hours (or overnight for best results) it will be plenty moist and easily formed.
Baking the Pomegranate cookies
Once the dough has rested a few hours to overnight, it’s time to bake ’em up! Roll the pomegranate cookies with your hands (about a tbsp each) and transfer to parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake for 12-14 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven until lightly browned and crisp.
Transfer to wire racks to cool, and try and resist the urge to shove flaming hot cookies in your mouth. Bask in the smell of your cookie-perfumed home.
A fun cookie for your holiday tray!
These pomegranate cookies are the perfect addition to any holiday tray, and make a great after dinner snack with a tall glass of your milk of choice, or a nice hot coffee or latte!
