These cookies have a strong aromatic orange flavor and are made without sugar, offering a healthy and tasty result. The thyme honey used in their recipe adds an aromatic element and mild sweetness without being overly sugary. These cookies are so delicious that they are among my favorites, and I always have them at home. They are the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee, and you can enjoy them without feeling guilty.
