Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the large bowl and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
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.
Remove from the oven and allow the Vanilla Crispies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Optional: Once cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for garnish.
Slice into 12 evenly sized bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
