Where to find ingredients
Find basic baking staples like flour, sugar, cornstarch, and butter at local supermarkets. Corn syrup can be found in the baking or specialty sweetener aisle. If corn syrup is unavailable, a thick sugar syrup may be used as a substitute, though the original texture is preferred.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, flour, sugar, margarine, and ground walnuts until a smooth 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 onto the prepared baking sheet
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden
- While the cookies bake, prepare the filling: melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, corn syrup, milk, and butter in a bain-marie
- Stir continuously until you reach a thick, uniform cream
- Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool to lukewarm
- Once the cookies have cooled, join them in pairs with the chocolate filling
