These cookies offer a delightful twist on the classic oatmeal raisin cookie. We've swapped the raisins for chopped walnuts and added the unique flavor of Double Barrel Honey for a touch of sweetness and complexity. Warm spices like cinnamon and ginger add a cozy touch, making these cookies perfect for a fall day or a delightful anytime treat.
