In a large bowl, add the cherries with the sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, cornstarch, pinch of salt and lemon juice. Pour cherry mixture into a 27 x 18cm (7x10in) baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile remove the cookie dough from the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Cut the dough balls in halves and roll each half to form smaller balls, then gently press them with a spatula.
