Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

In a standing mixer with a paddle attachment, combine Granulated Sugar (4 Tbsp), Vanilla Extract (1 tsp), and Butter (1 cup) until it starts to turn pale.

Add the All-Purpose Flour (2 cups) one cup at a time, and continue to mix on low until it starts to combine.
4.
Turn off the mixer and using a silicone spatula, fold the dough together until it forms a ball.
5.
Place dough on a 9x13-inch cookie sheet (at least 1 1/2 inches deep) or casserole dish, and press the dough out until it covers the entire sheet.
6.
Bake for 18 minutes. Take our the crust but leave the oven on.

8.
Add the All-Purpose Flour (1 cup) and continue to whisk for 2 minutes.
9.
Pour mixture into the crust and bake for another 30-35 minutes.
