Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and toast coconut for 7 minutes. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a stand mixer or separate bowl, beat the sugar and butter until creamed. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until well combined.
Slowly add the flour mixture into the stand mixer allowing the mixture to form the dough.
Carefully fold in the toasted coconut, dark chocolate and cherries.
Using a small ice cream scoop drop cookies on parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just turning brown along the edges.
