First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Microwave frozen cherries for 45 to 60 seconds, until thawed and juicy.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter cubes and sugar. Beat on high for 2 minutes, until no lumps of butter remain.
Add in thawed cherries and the cherry juice in the bowl. Beat to combine. There will be some small pieces of cherry in the dough.
Then, add in flour, baking powder and sea salt. Stir together.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Use an ice cream scoop to scoop balls of cookie dough onto the lined cookie pan. Place at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until cookies look barely set in the middle.
Remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes on pan before carefully removing.
