Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried cherries using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake each sheet in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
