Blend them in a food processor with the sugar, obtaining a powder; combine this mixture with the egg whites, the honey, and the cocoa powder until you obtain a thick batter. Place the batter in a pastry bag with an open star tip; pipe small dollops on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes; remove from the oven and let cool, then spread half with a bit of the melted chocolate and top with another cookie to form little sandwiches.
