Prep time: 60 minutes

Serves: 7-12 units

Ingredients:
For the dough
200 grams of Tnuva Butter at room temperature
2/3 cup (130 g) of sugar
2 egg yolks
1 orange peel, grated
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cups (350 grams) of flour
1/2 cup of cocoa
1 teaspoon of baking powder
4-5 tablespoons of milk
For the filling:
150 grams of dark chocolate
3 tbsp of Tnuva Butter
3 tbsp of powdered sugar
1 tbspl of honey
1 beaten egg
1 tbsp full of cocoa (not sweetened)
To brush: a yolk with 1 tablespoon of water
Serving: powdered sugar, melted chocolate.

Instructions:
1. Place the butter, sugar, yolks, orange peel and salt in a food processor bowl and mix into an airy cream. Add flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix to a crumbly mixture. Add 4 tablespoons of the milk and work it until a dough ball is formed but no more than that (if you get too dry dough, add a fifth spoon). Wrap in plastic wrap, flatten it and store in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. In the meantime, prepare a filling: melt chocolate and butter, add sugar and honey powder and mix, add the egg and whisk it, add cocoa and stir.
3. Heat the oven to 180 ° C and place 2 oven molds in baking paper. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Cover and return 3 of them to the refrigerator and flour a work surface.
4. Roll the dough into a 3 mm thick sheet, cut circles of 8 cm in diameter and brush the edges with a diluted yolk. Place one teaspoon of filling in the center of each one, and close it tightly to the corners. Place in a template. Continue with the dough and fillings. If there is time, cool in the refrigerator 20 minutes before baking.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden. Cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar, melted chocolate and serve.
