Pecan Honey Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw pecan pieces
  • 1 cup raw walnut pieces
  • 2 Tbs unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 4 Tbs clear, runny honey
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • extra ground cinnamon for dusting (if desired)
Instructions
  1. Place the nuts into a food processor.

  2. Add the butter and drizzle the honey over the nuts.

  3. Add the cinnamon and sea salt.

  4. Pulse in the food processor for 1-2 minutes or until the nuts become small and uniform in size. (See the picture above for reference.)

  5. Roll the "dough" into small balls. It will be sticky and a bit finicky to work with but can be pressed together.

  6. Place on a lined cookie sheet and press into flat rounds. 

  7. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon if desired.

  8. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes or until the edges begin to darken. (Once the edges begin to darken the middles will darken very quickly, so make sure you watch them.)

  9. The cookies will fall apart very easily until cooled. I like to very carefully transfer all of the cookies at one time on their parchment paper or liner to a cooling rack instead of picking each cookie up individually. 

Recipe Notes

For added decoration, very gently press a half pecan into the top of each cookie as soon as you remove them from the oven. 

Best eaten or frozen within 24 hours as they will soften over time.
