While cookies are baking, make syrup: Bring sugar, water, lemon and orange peel to a boil. Add honey and boil for 10 – 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

When cookies are partly cooled, dip each cookie into hot syrup using a slotted spoon; remove immediately and place on waxed paper and sprinkle with nut mixture. Cool and place in cupcake holders.

Nut Mixture – Blend 1 Cup finely chopped walnuts with ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves.
