Knead the flour, starch, powdered sugar, cocoa, orange peel flavoring, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, egg yolks, cream, salt, and butter into a shortcrust pastry. Chill for about an hour. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. After chilling, divide the dough. Roll each half into a log and cut into approximately 1 cm thick pieces. Shape the dough pieces into balls, each weighing approximately 10 g, and press a chocolate mocha bean into the center of each. Roll the dough again into balls, place them on the baking sheet, bake for about 10-12 minutes, and then let cool. Melt the chocolate glaze in a water bath, cover the cookies with it, and decorate as desired.
