Make the cream cheese filling that goes inside the cookies.
Melt the butter completely.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, sugars, and honey, and mix until only about 50–60% of the sugar crystals have dissolved.
Add the eggs in 2–3 additions, mixing after each, then add the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, red yeast rice flour, Valrhona cocoa powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
Add the sifted dry ingredients to the dough and mix by cutting through it with the spatula held upright. Keep mixing until no dry flour is visible.
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to rest.
Divide the rested dough into 150g portions and flatten each one. Place 30g of the cream cheese filling in the center and gather the dough up around it to enclose it.
Put the cookies in the oven preheated to 200°C, lower the temperature to 185°C, and bake for 10–13 minutes.
