Instructions

For the cookies cream the butter with the sugar for a few minutes.
Then add the egg and honey and mix well.
Add flour, cornstarch, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder and mix until you get a dough.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least half an hour or overnight.
2 Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
3 Divide dough into two parts, put one part back in the fridge before using.
Roll out second part to about 2 millimeters and cut out round cookies with 5-6 centimeters in diameter.
This can be done with a cookie cutter or glass.
You should get 30 cookies in total or even more, I get about 40.
Bake one baking sheet at the time for about 8-10min.
Let cookies cool.
4 For the filling look for two cookies of the same size and place about one teaspoon of dulce de leche onto the bottom one before sandwiching together.
5 Chop semi-sweet chocolate and melt with butter and orange zest on low heat.
Dunk each sandwich cookie into the chocolate and let cool off on parchment paper before serving.
