Drain the jar of cherries and spread the cherries out to dry. The dryer they are, the easier it is to work the dough around them. Patting them down with a paper towel is encouraged.
Cream the butter until it is smooth and fluffy. Beat in the powdered sugar.
Stir together the flour and cocoa powder and then mix into the butter mixture.
Work about a Tablespoon of dough around cherry to form a ball.
Place about an inch apart on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then roll in powdered sugar. Cool completely on a wire rack.
