Ingredients

⅔ c brown sugar
2 tb cubed butter
2 tb heavy cream
1 tb raw honey
Pinch of fine salt
1 ts extract {I used vanilla}
¼ c unbleached flour
½ c toasted nuts
½ c melted bittersweet chocolate
Optional: candied orange peel, white chocolate/caramel, etc

Instructions

In a heavy bottomed pot, melt the brown sugar, butter, cream, and honey together. It's ready when it pulls away from the sides, thickens in texture and deepens in color. {238* to be exact but I've never bothered testing with a thermometer when it comes to these cookies}. Stir in the salt and vanilla.
Pull the pan off the heat and stir in the flour in 2 additions, taking care not to over mix then fold in the nuts.
Allow the mixture to set for 5-10 minutes before scooping onto baking sheets lined with parchment/silpat {so it doesn't stick as the dough is very sticky} leaving 3-4" space in between each cookie. Lightly press each cookie down with barely wet or greased hands to flatten.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
Leave on the baking sheet about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack and drizzle with chocolate/caramel if desired.
Cool to harden then enjoy.
