Mountain Cookies

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup confectioners sugar

2 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

½ tsp salt

Filling:

3 ounces cream cheese

1 cup confectioners sugar

2 tbsp flour

1 tsp vanilla

½ cup finely chopped pecans

½ cup sweetened shredded coconut

Topping:

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp water

½ cup confectioners sugar

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.

Shape into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Make a deep indentation in the center of each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees until the edges just start to brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

For the filling, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla until smooth. Add pecans and coconut. Spoon ½ tsp into each cookie.

For topping, in a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter with water; stir until smooth. Stir in sugar. Drizzle over cookies.
