Honey cookies are a delightful treat that combines the natural sweetness of honey with a soft, rich texture. Perfect for any occasion, these cookies are easy to make and have a wonderful, aromatic flavor with a hint of spices like cinnamon and cloves.
Ingredients:
- 50 g sugar
- 200 g flour
- 50 g walnuts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 packet of cinnamon
- A pinch of cloves
- A pinch of baking soda

For the syrup:
- 250 g sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar

Preparation:
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves, lemon juice and zest, ground walnuts, and honey. Mix well, then gradually add flour and knead the dough. Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.
- After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thin sheet. Using a cutter or glass, cut out small round shapes. Arrange them on a greased baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) until golden.
