These little tea-cake-style cookies are simple, satisfying treats to offer alongside Moroccan tea or coffee. Easy to make, they can quickly be prepared on short notice for unexpected company or as a last-minute after school snack. With their lemon zest flavor, they remind me of madeleines in cookie form, without the spongy texture.

Warming the honey briefly in the microwave or stove top will make it easy to incorporate. Additional vanilla can be added to the cookies if you don't have fresh lemons or oranges on hand.

A Moroccan tea glass is the traditional measure for ingredients, but I'm also listing US and metric measures for convenience. I recommend shaping the cookies on the petite side, but they can be made larger if you prefer; just allow slightly longer baking time.
