Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat butter and cream cheese together until creamy. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add flour, beat well, and stir in pecans. Chill for 30 minutes.
Shape chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Dip the bottom of a glass in water and gently press cookies into a 2-inch diameter.
