Directions

• In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until blended. Gradually beat in flour, confectioners' sugar and pecans. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cherries, pineapple filling and pecans. In a small bowl, whisk egg. Stir in coconut and sugar.
• Preheat oven to 350°. With fingers dusted with flour, shape dough into 1-in. balls; press evenly onto bottoms and up the sides of greased mini-muffin cups.
• Place a rounded teaspoon filling in each cup. Spoon 1 teaspoon topping over filling. Bake 20-22 minutes or until topping is golden and edges are lightly browned. Cool in pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
