Directions:   Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat sheets. Cream the margarine and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs, honey, vanilla and sea salt until smooth and creamy. Use a large wooden spatula or your clean hands to work in the flour and oats until well combined. Add raisins and walnuts if desired and mix until evenly distributed. Shape the dough into large three-inch balls and press into five- or six-inch flat cookies on baking sheets.
