Combine the flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, and speculatius spice in a bowl and mix. Add the butter and condensed milk and knead everything into a dough. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in cling film, and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 2) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1 cm and cut out cookies using a flower cutter. Spread the dough onto the tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then let cool. Melt the chocolate over a pan of simmering water. Using a spoon, drop the chocolate into the center of the cookies and let it dry. Store the cookies in an airtight container.
