Bourke Street Bakery began in Sydney, Australia, and now has multiple locations in New York City. The bakery’s dark chocolate sour cherry cookies, one of their most popular creations, were the inspiration for these fudgy treats. Dried cherries hydrated in balsamic vinegar punctuate the cookies with bites of tangy, fruity flavor that offsets the richness of the butter, sugar and dark chocolate. If you like, you can substitute dried cranberries for the dried cherries. Either Dutch-processed or natural cocoa powder works, though we think natural cocoa gives the cookies a slightly more intense chocolate flavor.
Don’t add the melted butter and chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs until the mixture has cooled until barely warm to the touch otherwise it will overheat the eggs.
