Combine honey, sugar, butter, and egg and beat until smooth.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to cream mixture.
Stir in pecans.
Working with 1/3 of the dough at a time, shape into a log, 2 inches in diameter.
Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour or overnight.
Cut into 1/4 of an inch thin slices and bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes. Cookies should be lightly browned at the edges. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire baking rack.

Notes
Be sure to use good quality honey! Cheap honey can be bitter and that will reflect in how the cookies taste.
As you roll the dough into logs, sprinkle a bit of flour on the countertop or mat so that the dough doesn’t stick!
Keep in mind that you’ll want the dough logs to be about 2 inches in diameter each.
Take the cookies out of the oven as soon as you see the edges start to turn brown, because you don’t want them to be overcooked.
