Pomegranate Week 2011 : Pomegranate Choco-Chocolate Chip Cookies





Now....first off,  how can you go wrong with a chocolate cookie.  I don't think that you can.  When I was gathering recipes to try out with Pomegranates, I saw this recipe {from a blog I read daily}, looked at the recipe & decided to give it a try.


When looking over the recipe & the contents of it, I realized that my basic go-to recipe for cookies would work perfectly in creating these interesting cookies.


Again, the hardest part to making these cookies......getting all the arils out of the pomegranate.  But I took my time, so that way I wouldn't have pomegranate juice all-over the place.


I was very happy with the end result.  Imagine a very fudge-like cookie with pops of pomegranates.  When offered to friends, they always asked what was inside the cookies, and when I would answer they would say, "Ohhhh".


I wasn't sure at first if the combination of chocolate & pomegranate would go together, but they do go together quite nicely :)
