Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream the margarine, sugar, and eggs together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs, honey and vanilla. Add sea salt. 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 backing sheet. Bake for 15 min. or until as brown as you desire. Cool on wire racks.
