Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the large bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the Vanilla Crispies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Optional: Once cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for garnish.

Step 10

Slice into 12 evenly sized bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
