1/2 pound butter, room temperature
2 T thyme or other full flavored honey
1/2 C powdered sugar
2 t vanilla
1 t cinnamon
zest of one orange
pinch salt
1 1/2 C flour
1 1/2 C walnuts, finely chopped
Heat the oven to 375
Place the butter in a large bowl and add the honey, powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, orange zest, and salt. Mix until smooth. Add the flour and mix to combine, add the walnuts and mix well. Scrape dough onto a lightly floured board and shape into a log. Roll the log to about a 2-inch diameter. Using a sharp knife cut the dough into about 1/3 inch thick slices. Place slices on a parchment lined cookie sheet. They will spread a tad, so don’t let them be too close to each other and bake about 15-20 minutes or until lightly gold around the edges. Makes about 20 cookies.
