To make filling: Put pecans and sugar in bowl. Pour in honey and stir until the mixture clumps together. Spoon the mixture onto the dough and fold the narrowest end of the trapezoid over to close the cookie. Pinch the dough to hold it together.

Notes: My mother adapted this recipe from the 1968 Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cooking. The original recipe called for jam filling, but my mother was looking for a way to use the plentiful pecans from our pecan trees.
