Combine butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Add flour and mix until combined. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and set on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on bottom, 10 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more. Place one pecan half on top of each cookie and dust lightly with powdered sugar. Cook's Notes: You can use margarine instead of butter. For a slightly chewy cookie, bake for 10 minutes. If you prefer a more crispy and store-like cookie, bake for 12 to 13 minutes.
