Step 1
Mix butter and powdered sugar in a bowl until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Fold in flour until the dough just comes together—it should look crumbly but hold when pressed.
Step 3
Press dough into an 8x8-inch baking pan and prick all over with a fork.
Step 4
Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes until pale golden at the edges.
Step 5
Cool 2 minutes, then cut into 12 squares while still warm.
