Make the cream cheese filling that goes inside the cookies.
Melt the butter completely.
In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter with the sugars and honey until only about 50–60% of the sugar granules have dissolved.
Add the eggs in 2–3 additions, mixing after each, then add the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose 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. Mix evenly until no dry flour is visible.
Add all three chocolates and mix lightly.
Rest the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into 150g portions and flatten each one, then place 30g of cream cheese filling in the center and gather the dough up around it to enclose it.
Lower the preheated oven from 200°C to 185°C and bake for 10–13 minutes.
