Salt and Pepper Cocoa Shortbread

Oh cocoa shortbread... I just don't think you and I can be friends.
These were simple enough to make but they don't taste very good. I've had some trouble with shortbread but once I made the cornmeal shortbread it all seemed to come together. I thought this would have good flavor but I believe you use too much unsweetened cocoa powder and not enough sugar to balance that part. Then you add black pepper and fleur de sel and it throws the taste off even more.

I'm sticking with the cornmeal shortbread recipe if I need a shortbread cookie.
