I liked these cookies, definitely a different taste. I will make again, but next time will leave off the glaze. It was really quite thin and made some soggy spots on the cookies. Also made an already sweet cookie even sweeter

It is a sweet cookie with gentle touch of honey, orange and sesame. I reduced the white sugar to 1 cup. Will probably reduce brown sugar to 1/3 cup next time. Increased vanilla to 1/2 tablespoon and orange rind to 1 tablespoon. I also added another 1/4 cup flour. I rolled them to 1" balls but did not put on extra sesame seeds. And I did not glaze.
