In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and mix well until combined. Sift in cocoa, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Stir until combined.

Roll the dough into 2 inch balls. Place on a greased baking sheet or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press thumb into center of cookie to make a well. Place two cherries in each cookie.

Bake at 350F degrees for 12 minutes.

Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Once the cookies are cool drizzle with chocolate.

Melt chocolate chips, I melted mine in the microwave, it took about 1 minute at 50 percent power. Drizzle over cookies.

Let the chocolate set and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container.
