Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry blend into the wet ingredients until just combined.

  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
