Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened black cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, sift the flour with both cocoa powders and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the butter with the 1/4 cup of sugar at medium-high speed until fluffy. Beat in the zest. Beat in the flour mixture at low speed until the dough comes together. Add the cherries; beat until incorporated.
  2. Scrape the dough onto a work surface and pat it into a disk; roll it between 2 sheets of parchment paper to a 1/4-inch thickness and refrigerate on a baking sheet until firm, 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 ° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel off the top sheet of parchment from the dough. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, stamp out cookies. Arrange the cookies 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Re-roll the scraps between parchment paper and stamp out more cookies; arrange on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
  4. Bake the cookies in the middle of the oven for 13 minutes, until just set. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
