A great cookie to make with the children.
These are very moreish and to stop you eating them all in one sitting they freeze very well, either uncooked or cooked.
The walnuts can be substituted with pecan nuts.

Notes
Tip:
If the honey has crystallised, place the jar in a bowl of near boiling water and leave for about 15 minutes. This also helps to clean out the jar fully.
Don’t be tempted to use margarine……… they really aren't the same!
