Sift together flour, baking soda and baking powder; set aside. Cream together the butter and brown sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy, using electric mixer at medium speed.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Beat in vanilla. Gradually stir dry ingredients into creamed mixture, mixing well. Arrange pecan halves in clusters of 4, about 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets, placing halves in the form of a cross. Drop dough, by rounded teaspoonfuls, in center of each cluster. Bake in a 350\u00b0 oven for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from baking sheets; cool in racks.
