The oil needs to be HOT, as hot as you can go without burning the oil, the cookies themselves should be thin. The thinnner you can get them, the better they will fry and the crisper, and less oily they will appear.

They did not have the honey, but they were REALLY close to what my Nonna used to make! At my house, there were some additions to the recipe that strengthen the success of this fabulous cookie.
