Blend butter and cream cheese; add flour gradually, mixing thoroughly. Work into smooth dough with fingers; shape into balls about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Put each ball in small muffin cup; press dough to bottom and sides with thumb, making a shell.

Beat eggs slightly; gradually beat in brown sugar, butter, salt and vanilla. Sprinkle half the chopped pecans over bottom of dough-lined cups; spoon in brown sugar mixture, filling cups almost full. Sprinkle remaining nuts on top. Bake in 350-degree oven 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 250 degrees; bake 10 minutes.
