From "Tea and Cookies" by Rick Rodgers
"If you like to sweeten your tea with honey, you will love these. With their honey appearance, they may not be the prettiest cookies on the tea tray, but their honeyed sweetness will make them a favorite. Honey is a humectant, which means that it absorbs moisture from the ambient atmosphere, so the drops will stay moist for days, making them an especially good choice for when you need to make cookies well ahead of serving."
Position a rack in the top third and center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cream the butter and honey together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is light in color and texture, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, then the vanilla. Gradually stir in the flour mixture and mix just until the dough is combined. Stir in the walnuts.
Using a scant tablespoon for each cookie, shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1-1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake, switching the position of the baking sheets from top to bottom and back to front halfway through baking, until the cookies are light golden brown on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes.
Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire cake racks and cool completely.
The cookies can be made up to five days ahead, stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
Note: For baking, use a mildly flavored honey. A moderately priced supermarket brand, usually blended from a variety of honeys to give a consistent product, is fine. Honeys with distinctive flavors, such as sage, lavender or chestnut, tend to intensify when heated and the strong taste isn't always welcome.
