The honeyed salt cakes were interesting and odd but good. Of course with my household of numerous food allergies (dairy for me, gluten for one partner, sunflower seeds for the other - at least none of our current set of cats have any), I made one set with standard flour and the other with my usual mixture of 2/3 America's Test Kitchen GF flour blend & 1/3 almond flour.
The gluten containing ones were good (if salty, and when I make them again, I'll omit the salt sprinkled on top), but attempts to make individual cookies failed utterly, and they melded into a somewhat shapeless mass that cut nicely into bar cookies.
The GF ones adhered to the pan moderately firmly, and became a single bar cookie that completely filled their pan.
They were quite easy to make, and I did have much fun bringing a pan of each to my partners with the cry of "Deep One cookies!"
The one downside was the necessity of having to drink a truly impressive amount of water afterwards.
