Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix pecans, brown sugar, coconut and salt.
- Add honey, egg whites and vanilla extract; blend by hand or with a rubber spatula just until ingredients hold together.
- On a cookie sheet lined with parchment baking paper or foil, drop batter by rounded tablespoons 1 inch apart.

Notes
Bake on a dry day. Humidity makes these cookies very sticky.
