Steps:
- In lg bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1 cup butter. 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a med. bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
- Add to butter mixture, stir to mix then beat until well blended. Stir in pecans.

- Place remaining 1-1/2 cups of powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar to coat all over, discard remaining sugar. Set cookies on rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a better flavor and texture than stale pecans. If you can't find fresh pecans, you can use frozen or vacuum-sealed pecans.
- Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast the pecans in a pan over medium heat or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
- Use real maple syrup. Real maple syrup has a richer flavor than pancake syrup or corn syrup. If you can't find real maple syrup, you can use a combination of brown sugar and water.
- Don't overcook the honey pecan balls. Overcooked honey pecan balls will be dry and crumbly. Cook them just until they are golden brown.
- Let the honey pecan balls cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Honey pecan balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be made in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack or dessert, give honey pecan balls a try. You won't be disappointed!
