I had been wanting to post this recipe on Winter Solstice proper (I’m a big ol’ Pagan) since it’s one of my (now) annual solstice desserts and quite the favourite of my party guests. An acquaintance of mine – fantastical author Seanan McGuire – lives in California, where pomegranates grow locally, and she makes chocolate-pomegranate cookies every year to celebrate the season. Being the improvisational little squirrel that I am, promptly mucked about with her recipe and worked out a version of my own that involved (a) adding more chocolate and (b) making it gluten-free.
