Medenjaci are Croatian honey spice cookies, rich with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. The dough comes together quickly, but it needs a long rest in the fridge to allow the flavors to deepen and the dough to firm up for easy shaping. Once baked, these cookies are tender and keep well in an airtight container. A walnut pressed into the top of each cookie adds a nice textural contrast.
