Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 - cup (227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 - teaspoon (5 g) kosher salt
- 2/3 - cup (134 g) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 - teaspoons vanilla, optional *use
- 2 - cups (256 g) all-purpose flour
- - sparkling sugar, superfine sugar, or granulated sugar, for sprinkling, optional (I used raw sugar)
Directions:
Heat oven to 325ºF. If your butter is not very soft, melt two tablespoons of it. Place the remainder in a large bowl. Pour the melted butter into the bowl; then stir with a wooden spoon to combine or until the butter is the texture of mayonnaise. Add the salt and stir to combine. Add the sugar and vanilla if using; then stir again to combine. Finally, add the flour and stir just until the flour is absorbed — the dough will still be lumpy.
Press dough into an ungreased (or parchment paper-lined for easy removal) 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes for 9-inch pan, 45 to 50 minutes for 8-inch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares, bars or wedges while still warm. Sprinkle with a tablespoon or two of sparkling, superfine, or granulated sugar, if using.
