Time 1h55m

Yield 17 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon pink peppercorns, crushed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

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.

I've never been a big fan of cherry pie filling, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The cherry filling was sweet and tart, and it paired perfectly with the chocolate. The shortbread base was also amazing.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste, but they still had a nice flavor. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
