Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, pink pepper and salt. Set aside.
- Place the butter and 1/3 cup sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks and beat for an additional minute. In two additions, add the flour mixture, beating on low speed until just combined between additions. Pulse in the dried cherries and chocolate chips.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap on a clean, dry surface. Transfer the cookie dough to the plastic wrap, form into a 2-inch-wide log, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using a sharp, thin knife, cut the log into 1/3-inch-thick rounds. Set the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart, and sprinkle evenly with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
- Bake until just set, 25 minutes. Cool the cookies completely on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cream together the sugar, butter, egg and almond extract until well blended and fluffy. Then add in the flour and salt and stir just until combined. Then add the chocolate chips. Gently fold in the cherries that have been cut up. Stir in carefully so the cherries don't break apart too much.
- Chill the dough for about an hour so it will be easier to roll into balls.
- Roll into about 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with a silpat baking mat or parchment paper.
- Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Cool on a cooling rack.
Tips:
- Use cold butter. This will help the cookies keep their shape in the oven and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape even more.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and firm up.
Conclusion:
These shortbread cherry chocolate cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their buttery shortbread crust, sweet cherry filling, and rich chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
