Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

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

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chopped pistachios, dried cherries, and cocoa powder until evenly distributed.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
