Preheat the oven for 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar.
Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place them at least 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place your thumb in the center of each cookie to make an indentation. Place a cherry in the center of each one.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, place the chocolate chips in a heat safe bowl. Heat in 20 second intervals, stirring after each heating, until the chocolate is completely melted.
Place the chocolate in a zip top baggie, snip off the end, and drizzle over top of each cookie. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
