Heavenly Honey Pecan Cookies
By Ivorwen
Recently I was making my favorite dessert: cheesecake. I had a recipe I liked on hand, but wanted something different for the crust, than the usual crumbled graham cracker/vanilla wafer recipe. After looking over the other ingredients, I decided to try my hand at creating my own cookie 'crust' recipe... no crumbling necessary.
The resulting cookies were so delicious, I have decided to share the recipe.
Heavenly Honey Pecan Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups flour, sifted
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large sized bowl beat butter, eggs, sugar honey and vanilla together.
- Add dry ingredients and mix well.
- Scoop walnut-sized balls of dough onto a cookie sheet, press flat with your fingers or a glass, or roll dough into a 2" log and slice 1/4" thick. Bake 10-12 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet, before moving to wire rack. They are very soft.
- Store in an airtight container.
Makes: 5 dozen 2 1/2" cookies

These look similar to a recipe my husband loves...but even better!
I've gotta make butter first (it's easier than getting to the store in the snowstorm we're having), then maybe I'll try these today.
Sheesh, I think I gained 5 pounds just looking at this recipe! I must write them down and add them to my growing recipe book. :)
oh , yummy,
hey Ivorwen, I came by to greet you happy holidays, Maita
Thank you everyone. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! Wishing you all the best in 2010.
Oooooooooooh, these sound good. Thanks Ivorwen!

Looks yummy, and simple... Mmmm, the perfect combination.
Thank you, Bradley!

....all of your recipes are much appreciated in my domestic life ..... and your other hubs are heavenly too!
Thank you Epigramman.
It looks yummy:) Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Thanks Katrina. These are some of my very favorites!
Gorgeous taste and texture, only problem I had is that they seemed to get stuck to the tray much more easily than other recipes. Apart from that, wonderful!
Thank you missbiodegraded!
I always bake mine on a well seasoned stoneware pan, and have never had trouble with sticking, but I can imagine it would be a problem with a metal pan.
Thank you for the feedback.
