Ingredients:

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup honey
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
    • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

    • Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C), setting the stage for slow-baked perfection.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt, setting the foundation for your cookie dough.

3. Cream Wet Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with honey and vanilla extract until the mixture is well-combined and creamy.

4. Combine:

    • Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.

5. Add Pecans:

  • Fold in the finely chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Shape Cookies:

  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet, allowing room for slight expansion.

7. Bake:

    • Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until they’re set and take on a lightly golden hue.

8. Cool and Dust:

  • Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar for a beautiful, snow-capped finish.
