Notes

If you like more pomegranates in your cookies, you may add ¼ cup pomegranate seeds into the batter in the 6th step while mixing chocolate chips in the batter. Make sure to mix well. Follow the rest of the instructions as mentioned.

Avoid putting too many pomegranate seeds for toddlers and infants or very small kids as they may not like to bite on the seeds or the seeds might stick in their teeth.

These cookies can be stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for 4-5 days.
