Chop the chocolates into small pieces, put them in a small bowl, and melt them by putting them on top of a different bowl with hot water in it. In a large mixing bowl, put cubed butter and mash using a spatula, add the melted chocolate, powder sugar, and egg yolk while mixing in between each ingredient. Once well combined, sift ground almonds, cocoa powder, and cake flour then continue mixing. Transfer in a plastic wrap then cover before flattening it out with a rolling pin. Remove the plastic at the top and replace it with parchment paper, flatten, and refrigerate for an hour. Using a cookie cutter, cut the cookie dough and bake in a preheated 180°C oven for 11-13 minutes.
