Method:

1. In a bowl with a paddle attachment, slowly beat your butter to make it softer but do not whip.

2. Add your sugar until just combined.

3. Add your chocolate until just combined.

4. Add the remaining dry ingredients until the mixture almost looks like sand and all is combined.

5. Add your egg and paddle on a low speed until the dough comes together.

6. Divide the cookie dough into six equal pieces and form into rough balls.

7. Create a well in the centre of each dough ball and freeze for 1.5 hours.

8. To make your cream cheese filling, whip your cream cheese until smooth and then add the remaining ingredients.

9. Pre-heat your oven to 180C.

10. As soon as your cookies are frozen, fill the centres with the cream cheese filling and place in the freezer for another 30 mins.

11. After 30 mins, bake off immediately for 20-25 mins or until golden brown.

12. Put on a cooling rack and allow to cool before garnishing with pomegranates.
