First, preheat the oven to 350, and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet until very fragrant but not burnt. The edges should just start to darken. Move them to a clean bowl to cool because they will keep cooking in the pan.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, cooled pecans, powdered sugar, honey, vanilla, flour and salt.
Pulse until a dough forms that sticks together into a ball. Turn off the machine right when a ball first starts to form.
Press the dough into the prepared baking pan, and bake for 24-26 minutes, until the edges are brown and the dough is lightly golden brown all over.
Let cool in the pan, then remove using the parchment paper to lift out. Slice into sticks or small triangles with a sharp knife.
