In a food processor, combine the butter, flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and semolina or polenta and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the caster sugar, egg and vanilla and process just until the mixture comes together in a smooth dough. Do not overprocess or the biscuits will be very hard.

Then, using an offset spatula, carefully transfer the rectangles to the prepared trays, spacing them about 2.5cm apart. Gather up the scraps, press together, reroll, cut out more rectangles, decorate them with dots and add them to the trays.

Leave to cool on the trays on wire racks for 5 minutes, then transfer to the racks and leave to cool completely. To make the filling, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from the heat, add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla, and stir to dissolve the sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well.

When the biscuits are cool, turn 12 of them bottom side up on a work surface. Spread a generous amount of the filling on each overturned biscuit, dividing it evenly and spreading it to the edge. Top with a second biscuit, bottom side down, and press lightly to secure.
