Tips:

  • To make the honey walnut filling, use raw walnuts for the best flavor. Toast them in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are fine and powdery.
  • To make the honey walnut glaze, use a light-colored honey for a milder flavor. If you prefer a stronger honey flavor, use a darker honey.
  • To prevent the honey walnut glaze from crystallizing, add a small amount of corn syrup or glucose syrup.
  • For a more intense honey walnut flavor, add a teaspoon of ground ginger or cinnamon to the filling.
  • To make the honey walnut delights ahead of time, freeze them for up to 2 weeks. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Conclusion:

Honey walnut delights are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With their sweet and nutty flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
