Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.

Scoop dough onto the baking sheet and gently press the center of each cookie.

Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.

Heat heavy cream until warm and pour over chopped dark chocolate. Stir until smooth.

Fill the cookie centers with the chocolate mixture and top with chopped cherries.

Let cookies cool before serving.
