Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, sugar, margarine, and ground walnuts until a homogeneous dough forms.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat).
- Grease and lightly flour a baking sheet.
- Shape the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the filling: in a bain-marie, heat the chopped bittersweet chocolate, corn syrup, milk, and butter.
- Stir continuously until a thick and homogeneous cream is achieved.
- Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Once the cookies have cooled down, pair them two by two with the chocolate filling in between.
