In a large bowl, beat shortening/margarine until light and fluffy.
Add honey and syrup, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Beat in vanilla.
Combine the GF flour, baking soda and salt.
Gradually add to honey mixture and mix just until moistened.
Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
