Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
