In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and the powdered sugar.
Add the chilled and cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Beat the egg lightly in a separate bowl and add to the flour mixture along with the vanilla extract and cold water.
Mix all ingredients together until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once chilled, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking, until about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into squares or desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans, and honey until well combined.
Divide the nut mixture over each pastry piece, pressing gently to adhere to the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the nuts are toasted.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
