How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

For your cookies cream your butter with the sugar for some minutes.
Add the egg and honey.
Mix well.
Add baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, cornstarch and flour.
Mix until you get a dough.
Wrap in plastic wrap.
Chill for at least half hour or overnight.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, turn the oven on to 400°F.
Divide dough into two parts.
Put one part back in your fridge before using.
Roll out second part to around 2 millimeters.
Cut out round cookies using 5-2 ½ inches in diameter.
This can be done using a cookie cutter or glass.
Get 30 cookies.
Do it in total or even more, I get around 40.
Bake one sheet pan at the time for about 8-10min.
Let cookies cool.
For your filling look for two cookies of same size.
Place around one teaspoon of dulce de leche on the bottom one before sandwiching together.
Chop semi-sweet chocolate plus melt using butter and orange zest on low heat.
Dunk each sandwich cookie into the chocolate.
Let cool off.
Do it on parchment paper before serving.
