Pomegranate Molasses and Pine Nut Cookies image

Adapted from a recipe by Kerry Saretsky at Serious Eats http://tinyurl.com/d7b834 - She describes them as "These cookies are to die for-the texture of a crumbly-chewy chocolate chip cookie, studded with buttery pine nuts, perfumed with exotic, but sweet and familiar vanilla. Then there's the flavor you just can't place off the top of your head, that tart, fruity sweetness of the pomegranate molasses. These are very special, with an upscale, artisan flavor, and comforting, addictive sweet texture. Dipped in milk, they're a surprise wrapped in an everyday cookie wrapper."

These cookies are a great make-ahead dessert. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them. They're perfect for a quick and easy treat during the week.

I'm allergic to pine nuts, so I substituted chopped walnuts in this recipe. They turned out just as delicious!

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover pomegranate molasses. I always have a jar in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I love making these cookies for bake sales. They're always a popular choice and they sell out quickly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly. They still tasted good, but they didn't look very appetizing.

These cookies were a hit! They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a lovely nutty flavor from the pine nuts. I'll definitely be making these again.
