Mix the Dough

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the margarine, sugar, honey, and egg mixture. Fold in the coarsely chopped walnuts and chocolate chunks.
Shape and Bake the Cookies

On a greased and floured baking sheet, form small portions of cookie dough.
- Step 2
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
Cool and Assemble
