Add the eggs, lemon zest, honey and the soft butter in pieces and start working everything together. Chop the remaining walnuts into small pieces and fold them into the dough.
Take the dough and divide it into pieces of about 3 oz each (or smaller if you prefer), roll into little logs, close into rings and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Prepare a mixture of the egg yolk and a splash of milk, brush the cookies and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 15 minutes.
