Cherry Chocolate Slice and Bake Cookies
Ingredients
1 stick of butter
1/3 cup sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup flour
Zest of one lime
½ tsp salt

Directions
In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Add flour, lime zest, and salt and mix to thoroughly combine.
Add cherries and mix until incorporated.
Remove dough (will be sticky) from mixer and roll into a log shape in plastic wrap.
Let dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. (Keeps up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator and can be frozen after this time – thaw to bake)

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Slice cookie about ¼ inch thick and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until just set. Allow to cool before removing.
