Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it with your hands. Place a cherry in the center and wrap the dough around it, forming a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and cherries.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
