Better a couple of days after you've made them
Put the walnuts and mixed peel in a food processor and whizz to a coarse grit.
Remove and put in a small bowl. Put the butter in the food processor with the sugar and honey and beat to a smooth cream. Whizz in the eggs and vanilla until they are well incorporated, then add the flour, ground almonds, walnuts, peel, spices and lemon and quickly pulse to a dough. Put in the fridge and chill overnight.
Line two baking sheets with nonstick baking parchment. Heat the oven to 160C. Divide the dough into 40-50 balls, each about 3cm in diameter - flour your hands to roll them if necessary. Arrange on the baking sheets, leaving 5cm between them. Flatten the tops slightly with your hand.
Place in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes. They should be just turning pale gold. Remove and leave to cool slightly. They will be quite crumbly at first, but will become more robust as they cool.
While they are still a little warm,mix the icing sugar and lemon juice and use a pastry brush or palette knife to spread it carefully over the top and sides. Repeat with a second layer, then leave to dry. Leave for a couple of days before eating, the flavours will improve.
