Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, beat margarine, sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer for 1 minute, until well combined. Beat in egg white and vanilla until smooth.

Ina small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the sugar mixture and stir by hand just until you have a soft dough.

Roll the dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Drizzle honey evenly over the square of dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts, going almost to the edges. Gently roll into a log, peeling back the bottom paper as you go. Wrap in waxed in waxed paper of plastic wrap and freeze for 3 hours or up to 3 months.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice the log into 1/4 inch thick slices and place 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until pale golden. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle cooled cookies with Vanilla Drizzle.
