Pomegranate White Chocolate and Mint Chip Cookies 2Who's traveling for the holidays?  We are currently in Winston-Salem, NC visiting family, relaxing at my in-laws' beautiful new home and watching the cousins play while getting to know each other better.  It warms my heart to see Judah loving his younger cousins so much, and with every tender move he displays toward them I feel more and more confident that he is going to be the best big brother!

We have big plans while we're here, including celebrating with family and friends Saturday night while wearing ugly Christmas sweaters and playing a gift exchange game.  Sunday we'll gather in church and then the rest of the time we'll continue on with some more Christmas traditions, like baking and decorating gingerbread boys!

Pomegranate White Chocolate and Mint Chip CookiesAnother thing I love to do during the holidays is eat lots and lots of cookies.  And, being pregnant right now gives me the excuse to eat double the amount I usually intake, right?  😉  If I'm going to do that, I might as well throw in something that will add a little nutritional value, like say, pomegranate arils!

These cookies are so fun with a pop of pomegranate juice is mostly every bite, then a surprisingly refreshing after-taste left from the mint chips.  The white chocolate balances out the two, and the cornstarch allows the cookies to stay chewy, while somewhat crispy on the outside.  If you still have a cookie exchange party to attend, I would bake these up for something a little different that will leave your mark!
