Pomegranate Fruit Cookies

This post was sponsored by Country Crock®. All opinions are my own.

We have been having so much fun with all the different creations that can be made with the Country Crock® Make It Yours™ cookie recipe. Since I love to gift cookies this time of year, creating a mix-in of fruity pomegranate seeds is a great way to give a version of the traditional fruitcake, but in cookie form. Which is infinitely better any day.

The recipe couldn’t be simpler, it’s the same base as our sprinkle cookie recipe just with different mix-ins. In fact you could make batches of these cookies with all the mix-ins imaginable and gift them as sampler packs to all the sweet treat lovers on your list. From chocolate chips to fruit filled treats… Make It Yours™ and then gift it out this year!
