120 g butter unsalted, room tem,perature
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup honey Greek preferred
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups flour plain or all purpose, may need to add a little more to get a good, pliable dough
1 pinch salt

Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar and honey until you have a creamy consistency-this will take between 2-3 mins. Lower the speed on your mixer and proceed to add the eggs one at a time ensuring they are well incorporated. Add your vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add this flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until a dough begins to form. You may need to add a little more flour to form the dough. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
Pre heat your oven to 180 deg C and line a baking tray with some baking paper.
Remove the dough from the fridge and on a lightly floured surface proceed to roll it out to ¼ inch thick. Using your preferred cookie cutter and cut out 8 cookies. Line the cookies on the baking pan and pierce the tops with a fork.
Bake for 8-10 mins, remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before sandwiching the ice cream.
Once you have sandwiched the ice cream, roll the sides of the sandwich in the walnut mixture.

The cookie cutters I used measured in at 9 cms. I think it would be better to use smaller ones say 6-7 cms. I’ll leave that up to you.
Also as I stated earlier, it would be preferable to use the same cookie cutters to cut out the ice cream once it had frozen in a shallow pan. That way they would fit perfectly around the two biscuits.
