When I told Brent I was going to make these cookies, he looked at me and said, “I’m not sure I will like Pomegranate seeds in cookies.” I shrugged. He doesn’t care for sweets nearly as much as I do anyways. I realize it may sound weird, and it may not appeal to everyone, but these cookies are quite good and the pomegranate seeds are part of the magic for me. They’re not too sweet and the pops of red make them feel perfectly festive for this time of year.
