• Whisk together the flour, baking powder,pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside
• Beat the butter and the sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium -high speed until light and fluffy,about 3 minutes.

• Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and scoop the dough on top.
• Using the plastic as an aid form the dough into a even log abour 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long. Refrigerate until very firm at least two hours and up to overnight .
• Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350°
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper
• Unwrap the dough, place it on a cutting board and use a serrated knife to cut it into 1/4 inch thick rounds
• Dust very lightly with white pepper
• Bake the cookies until just golden on the bottom and edges about 12 minutes
• Cool on the baking sheets five minutes then carefully transferred to rack cool completely
• This recipe uses dried cherries, I subbed with cranberries as they are not as expensive.
• I used Earth Balance in place of butter.
• These baked up nice, a bit crispy outside, soft and a bit chewy inside.
• A great cookie to dunk in hot chocolate.
