Christmas Cookie Recipe

I love a good Christmas cookie recipe! I look forward to every year making cookie recipes and making up my Christmas cookie trays. Every year I try to add one special Christmas cookie recipe to those trays.

Drop Cookie Recipe

One of the easiest cookies to make is a drop cookie recipe. For this lemon cookie recipe, I wanted to make these lemon cookies as easy as possible. So a lemon cookie recipe as a drop cookie recipe is the best way to make a Christmas cookie recipe.

Pomegranate and Lemon

My brain goes into overdrive when I think up new and exciting recipes. This Lemon Pomegranate Cookie took many forms before it became pomegranate and lemon. The truth is these lemon cookies became a pomegranate recipe because I had bought Pomegranate seeds to use in the cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, I needed to use them up!

Pomegranate Recipe

Cranberry sauce inspired a Christmas cookie recipe? Yes! My mom wanted me to do something different with cranberry sauce, so I thought Pomegranate seeds. Well, in a conversation with her, I found out she doesn’t like Pomegranate. Ok then, so what to do with the seeds? That is how lemon cookies became a pomegranate recipe!

Lemon Cookie Recipe

I decided to google Pomegranate cookies. I saw many pomegranate recipes but nothing was jumping out at me. Then I saw an ad for lemon cookies. The light bulb went off in my head. Why not do a lemon cookie  drop cookie recipe. Lemon along with the pomegranate go well together.

White Chocolate Drizzle

What would make this lemon cookie recipe tie together? White chocolate! I was torn between just adding the chips or do a white chocolate drizzle. The white chocolate drizzle won out because, well it looks prettier on these Lemon Pomegranate Cookies!
