Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt onto a piece of parchment or wax paper. Set aside. In a mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined. On low speed gradually add the flour mixture and mix until incorporated. With a wooden spoon, mix in the walnuts. Add the melted chocolate and milk, and stir to combine well. Refrigerate dough until firm, about 30 minutes.

• Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch logs and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes more. Cut logs into 1-inch slices and roll in confectioners' sugar. Transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake until golden around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer preferably fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl to blend. Add the butter and mix on low speed until dough forms. Stir in ½ cup finely diced walnuts. Roll the dough into an even 10-inch log, and roll in coarsely chopped toasted walnuts. Wrap the log in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared up to 4 days ahead.).
• Preheat the oven to 350°F . Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment. Using a long sharp knife, slice the dough into thin rounds. Arrange the rounds on prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Spoon a teaspoon of jam onto half of the cookies. Return the cookies to the oven and continue baking until the jam just begins to bubble at the edges, about 2 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Place a plain cookie atop cookies with jam, forming a sandwich. Cool completely.
