Ingredients
1/2 cup cornflour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
100g unsalted margarine
1/2 cup ground walnuts
100g dark chocolate
2 tablespoons corn glucose syrup
3 tablespoons full-cream milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, sugar, milk, and butter at any local supermarket or neighborhood provision shop. For ingredients like cornflour, dark chocolate, and ground walnuts, check the baking or specialty aisle of major retail grocery stores. If you cannot find corn glucose syrup, a light corn syrup or honey may serve as a substitute, though the original glucose is preferred for the correct texture.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, all-purpose flour, sugar, margarine, and ground walnuts until a uniform dough forms.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (moderate heat).
- Grease and lightly flour a baking tray.
- Shape the dough into small balls and arrange them on the prepared tray.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the filling: melt the chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler (bain-marie) with the glucose syrup, milk, and butter.
- Stir continuously until you achieve a thick and smooth cream.
- Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool slightly to room temperature.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, sandwich them together in pairs with the chocolate filling.
