INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium  bowl. Place the butter and both sugars in a medium mixing bowl, beating at medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Add the egg, honey, and vanilla and beat until thoroughly combined. Stir in the flour mixture and the Spiced Pecans until well blended.

Drop the dough, in batches, by rounded teaspoons on to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack and enjoy.
