i don't have shortening can i use butter
and would i also be able to use honey instead of sugar

I've used butter flavored Crisco, but did not like the cookies as well. I would not recommend using butter and honey. With lots of honey and butter, I make Baklava, yum!

That looks delicious! Is there anything better than a caramel center?

You're right Penolopy, caramel is the best!
