Snowy Butter Buttons
Macadamia nuts add to the buttery taste of these cookies.

Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly butter baking sheets.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside. Cream butter with sugar, honey, syrup and vanilla until smooth. Add in nuts. On low speed, add in the flour mixture, scraping to incorporate well. Cover bowl and chill for at least 2 hours. Roll about 2 teaspoons of dough into balls and place them about 2 inches apart. Bake in oven for about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on size of balls, or until they turn light golden brown. Transfer cookies to cooling racks, and when just cool, lay cookies in powdered sugar to coat all sides one at a time, then lay on racks to continue cooling. Once they are completely cool, roll in powdered sugar again.
