Ingredients
Chocolate Filling
3 ½ouncesdark chocolate, coarsely chopped
¼cupwhole milk
¼teaspoonvanilla extract
3tablespoonsconfectioners' sugar
Cookie Dough & Cinnamon-Sugar
2cupsall-purpose flour, plus more if needed
⅔cupwhite whole-wheat flour (see Tip)
1 ½teaspoonsbaking powder
¼teaspoonsalt
⅓cupcanola oil or corn oil
4tablespoonsunsalted butter, slightly softened
1/2 cup plus 5 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1large egg
Finely grated zest of 1 medium lemon
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey
2 ½teaspoonsvanilla extract
½teaspoonalmond extract or lemon extract
3tablespoonsground cinnamon
Directions
Pour the remaining milk through the sieve into the bowl. Add vanilla. Stir vigorously until smooth. Sift confectioners' sugar onto the mixture and stir in thoroughly. Refrigerate until very cold and stiff.
To prepare cookies: Position a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat oil, butter, 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, egg and lemon zest in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in honey, vanilla and almond (or lemon) extract until evenly incorporated.
With the mixer on low speed, then medium speed, beat about half the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until incorporated. Beat in the remaining flour mixture until just incorporated.
Divide the dough into quarters. Roll each quarter into a 9-inch “log.” Slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
Combine the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl and transfer to a plate. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar. Place about 1 1/2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. Press a well into the center of each cookie with a thumb. Fill with about 1/2 teaspoon of the cold chocolate filling.
Bake the cookies on the center rack, one pan at a time, until firm when pressed near the edge, 8 to 12 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool to room temperature.
Tips
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the chocolate filling for up to 1 week. Cover and refrigerate the cookie dough for up to 1 day. Store baked cookies airtight in a single layer for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tip: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores and online at bobsredmill.com or kingarthurflour.com. Store it in the freezer.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
