Instructions
Crust
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Line the bottom and sides of a 9×13 glass baking pan (do not use metal) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out
- Combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir to completely combine. The dough will be thick. Place crust firmly into prepared pan, making sure that it is even and nice.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven. Prick holes all over the warm crust with a fork (but do not go through the crust).
Filling
- Whisk all the filling ingredients together until combined.
- Pour filling over warm crust. Bake the bars for 20 minutes or until the center is relatively set and no longer jiggles.
- Remove bars from the oven and cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cool, lift the parchment paper out of the pan using the overhang on the sides.
- Dust with confectioners’ sugar and cut into squares before serving.
