Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy

Add in egg and beat until blended

In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda

Beat in the flour mixture until blended and chill dough covered for at least 1 hour. Dough will be very thick!

Preheat oven to 350 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper

Roll dough into ping-pong sized balls using your hands, and lightly press them into a thick patty shape

Place about an inch apart on cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes

Remove from oven and immediately press chocolate covered cherries into center, being careful to keep cookie shape intact

Allow to cool briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool

Once cookies are cooled completely melt white chocolate in a bowl and spoon into a Ziploc bag. Snip the end off a corner and drizzle onto cookies

Enjoy!
