Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making these delectable squares! The first step is to prepare your crust. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until well combined. Gradually stir in the flour to form a dough. Once the dough comes together, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. You’ll want to allow it to firm up slightly, making it easier to roll out.
