Ingredients:
– 1 cup softened butter
– 2 cups finely chopped pecans
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup honey
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.
4. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the buttery mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
5. Gently fold in the finely chopped pecans to incorporate them into the dough.
6. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden on the edges.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, dust the pecan balls with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
