Have Ready:
1/2 cup butter real
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 cup pecans pieces
1/4 cup powdered sugar
You'll Need:
Mixing bowl
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Electric mixer
Mixing spoon
Cookie sheet
Potholder
Bowl, plate or plastic bag
Heat oven to 350°. Put the butter and honey in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer. Add all of the other ingredients except the confectioners' sugar. Mix well with a mixing spoon. Using your hands, shape small 1-inch balls with the dough and place them 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet. Set timer and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until set and just beginning to brown. When done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Put confectioners' sugar in a small bowl or on a plate, and roll the cookies in the sugar until they are coated. You may prefer to put the confectioners' sugar in a plastic bag and shake the cookies gently to coat them.
Just Between Us: For Christmas color, roll a few cookies in red and green granulated sugar after they have been rolled in confectioners' sugar.
