Step-by-Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, flour, and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer on low speed until smooth. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop about a tablespoon of dough into each compartment of a greased mini muffin tin. Press the dough to form cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together chopped pecans, granulated sugar, corn syrup, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the filling into the crusts in the mini muffin tin, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until filling is set and tops are golden brown. Watch closely towards the end.
Remove from oven and cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
