Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality pecans for the best flavor. If you can't find pecan pieces, you can chop whole pecans.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies spread and become crispy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cookies from curdling.
  • Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Fold in the pecans. Be gentle so you don't break them up.
  • Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between the cookies so they have room to spread.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Honey pecan snaps are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, chewy, and full of flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these cookies in no time. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give honey pecan snaps a try. You won't be disappointed!
