Candied Orange, Almond and Honey Cookies

For the orange component of these soft, slightly chewy cookies, try to find really good candied orange peel—if you can help it, don’t use the sorry and near-synthetic candied peel packaged in little plastic tubs for use in holiday baking. In fact, it’s well worth your while to make a batch of homemade candied peel, one of the simplest and most satisfactory of sweets. For instructions on how-to, see the accompanying box.
