Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, and white sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing until just combined.
Step 4
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
Step 6
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once cooled, place a pecan half on top of each cookie and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
