Ingredients
2 1/4 cups flour
1/8 tsp. salt*
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Combine flour and salt, add to creamed mixture.
Mix until just blended. Mixture should be crumbly; do not overmix.
Press dough evenly into pan (I filled 3/4 of the pan). Prick dough all over with a fork.
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden brown. I used the convection oven setting and removed the pan after roughly 31 minutes.
Cool for 5 minutes before cutting into bars or squares.
