First, prepare the cherry compote. 2. Add the chopped cherries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla to a small saucepan. 3. Stir everything together and bring it to a simmer over high heat. 4. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10-15 minutes, until thickened. 5. Blend the compote until completely smooth using a blender or immersion blender. 6. Transfer it to a bowl and let it cool completely in the fridge. 7. Next, prepare the cookie dough. 8. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. 9. Mix in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla bean paste. 10. Fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until just combined. 11. Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks. 12. Lastly, spoon in some of the cooled cherry compote and gently swirl it through the dough. Do not fully mix it in. 13. Scoop the dough into 12 equal sized cookies and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. 14. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour. 15. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper. 16. Place 34 cookies on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between them. 17. Spoon a little more cherry compote on top of each cookie and add a few extra chocolate chunks. 18. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. 19. As soon as they come out of the oven, swirl a large round cookie cutter around each cookie to make them perfectly round. 20. Top with a little more cherry compote and extra chocolate, then enjoy! #asmr #EasyRecipes #foodies #baking #chocolatelover - @welcometoangieskitchen
